The project will involve the design of a auxiliary furniture inside the classic style that characterizes the brand. Contestants may choose from a sideboard, showcase (display cabinet), chair or table, provided that the projects presented maintain the aesthetics and image that characterizes this brand.

The main objective of the International Design Competition Classic furniture Canella is to promote rapprochement between students and young designers, and classic furniture industry, one of the oldest and characteristic of the industrial structure of Valencia.

In the words of Manager Canella, Salvador Jimenez, “We are aware that a high percentage of young designers are choosing to work with manufacturers of modern furniture. However, the crisis has removed many of these manufacturers. Nevertheless, in our case we survived thanks to our position in the luxury market and strong presence in foreign markets. Two arguments that we consider attractive to young designers who seek future employment in this sector.”
