PREGGO goes much further than just satisfying the clients’
needs, it visits and follows up on other industries besides furni-
ture and design, as Davide Pereira explains, “I just arrived from
a chemical and plastics trade fair, with our Director of Research
and Development, even though it has nothing to do with our
sector. This is what we do. We visit trade fairs, from the auto-
motive world to cosmetics and fragrances, textiles, fashion, and
much more. It is in these places that we draw inspiration to bring
the innovation required. “Obviously, we make sure to attend the
leading international fairs of interior design, including Maison et
Objet, iSaloni, designjunction and London Design Fair, because it
is there that we realise how much we are innovating in compari-
son to our competitors, so it is our strategy to be present in these
exhibitions,” asserted Pereira who has announced that Preggo
will be featured in the upcoming January edition of Maison et
Objet. Moreover, the CEO explains that Preggo has “a project
that was created this year, which is Preggo Lab, we also have a
section of research and development as well as another one re-
INNOVATION AND
THE FUTURE
garding product engineering”. Davide continues, “What happens
is that we want to slightly shift the relation we have with our
clients. Everything that is finishes, textures, materials, are aug-
mented at Preggo through our clients, meaning they are the ones
who request our services and challenge us, so we can go after
these challenges and we try to present what they are expecting.
Nowadays, what we are doing is completely the opposite, we try
to pull in our clients and we will be the ones to innovate, to
present news and trends, and to tell our client, that this is what
we can do and we are prepared to produce high-quality pieces.”
After describing his ambitions and those of his team, the CEO
makes one last statement about the future of Preggo:
“Clearly, the next phase for Preggo will be to launch product
brands. This is one of our main goals for 2018. We want to put
into motion the first product brand, and we are working on it.
We are thinking of, maybe, doing a more remote project, like a
showroom. I believe that within two years, we will be ready to
move forward with this project.”
