The next speakers to share their views were: art historian and Director of Applied Arts at the Istituto per la Storia dell'Arte Lombarda (Institute for the History of Lombard Art) Chiara Buss, who gave a brief report on how the European textile industry has managed to overcome cyclical financial crises over the centuries thanks to innovative production and support from rulers and the state; chemist and Head Researcher of the textile fibre laboratory at Milan's Stazione Sperimentale per la Seta (Experimental Centre for Silk) Silvio Faragò, whose presentation discussed the state-of-the-art in innovative and technical fabrics, indicating which of these are currently possible to produce and which are still in the development phase; and finally, architect and Proposte 2010 spokesperson Karim Rashid, whose speech bridged the previous two by illustrating the applications of digital technology in the field of interior decoration while emphasising the need to place primary importance on the human aspect of every design object.

Gala Evening
The evening began with a captivating concert featuring sophisticated pieces by Isaac Albéniz and stirring works by George Gershwin performed by pianists Katia e Marielle Labèque, who delighted the audience of exhibitors, visitors, journalists and guests. A convivial cocktail hour ensued, providing the ideal opportunity to trade notes on how the trade fair had gone. The only negative comments were regarding… the rain and cold which distinguished this year's edition from previous ones. Attendance statistics for the first two days of the fair had already been distributed, causing an air of optimism to spread throughout Villa Erba and tingeing the evening with an atmosphere of satisfaction.

Proposte 2011 - We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Italian and foreign press for the editorial support they have generously been offering our fair over the last 18 years. We would also like to announce that the next edition will be held from May 4-6, 2011 at Villa Erba in Cernobbio.
