More than 3500 visitors and 300 designers are expected at Deco Days 2023

Deco Days, an event dedicated to interior design, organized by Mendola Fabrics, the largest brand of curtains and draperies in Romania, will take place this year between 7 and 10 September in the foyer of the Polyvalent Hall in Cluj-Napoca. With a total investment of more than 100.000 euro, the organizers are counting on an audience of more than 3.500 people for the 8th edition, an increase of 20% compared to last year, 300 designers and 40 exhibiting businesses.

Conceived as an interior design accelerator, the event connects designers and architects with business, focusing on a complex, multi-sensory experience for participants. Last year, Deco Days attracted 3000 visitors, both individuals who love interior design and businesses in the field or related, who were exposed to 29 intensive hours of the event in a 2500 sqm space with 35 booths and exhibition spaces, 2 stages dedicated to conferences and workshops in the field, 11 special guests and the creations of 8 object designers gathered in a dedicated area.

Mendola Fabrics, the fabric business for curtains and drapes from Cluj, started Deco Days 7 years ago as an event dedicated exclusively to its business partners. Since 2021, Deco Days has turned into an “interior design accelerator”, a unique event in Romania that brings interior design businesses, designers and design lovers together.

This year, Deco Days will host a new round of design concepts, brand activities, complex experiential spaces, workshops and panel discussions with established guests.
