Furniture and decoration fair Hábitat 360 closes its 31st edition

The 31st furniture and decoration fair Hábitat 360, held from 9 to 12 April at the Badajoz exhibition institution IFEBA, closed with what the organisers describe as a positive outcome, consolidating it as a regional reference for the habitat, interior design and decoration sector. Over four days the fair combined commercial activity, specialised content and participatory experiences. Highlights included the live renovation contest 'Reforma Live', won by María Isabel Pérez, and 'La Mesa Perfecta', won by Mariam Váquez. The event strengthened its professional side through the Espacio Contract and Espacio Formación areas, while the woodworking contest 'Madera de Maestro' crowned Manuel Rodríguez champion with Javier Rocha second, both students at the San José Institute in Badajoz. On the cultural front, visitors responded strongly to the exhibitions '100 Years of Design · The Habitat Time Tunnel', 'Architecture to Feel', promoted by ONCE, and 'Inhabited Art', featuring ten Badajoz artists. Appearances by figures such as F1Joaquín and Soraya Arnelas boosted the fair's media reach. IFEBA's delegate councillor, Elena Salgado, said the fair met its goal of combining commerce, content and experience.
