15 April 1999: The number of visitors attending Macef Spring “99, one of the world“s leading exhibitions of table and kitchenware, products for the home, gold, silver and crafts, reached expected levels. According to Fiera Milano, the organizers of the fair, the levels of business in the cucina, cultura della tavola and artigianato sectors were particularly good. The organizers said that this year“s Macef was the largest and most complex ever mounted since it began thirty five years ago. There were 3,506 exhibitors, including 631 foreign ones who together managed to almost fill the Milan exhibition centre. It was also a show that placed a special emphasis on current trends in products for the home and, according to the organizers, confirmed Macef“s position as the most comprehensive and highest quality show case for such items. The design of items for the home and the kitchen provided the focus for the events that took the show out of the Fiera and into the city. Almost 9,000 people voted for their favourite piece out of the 60 Macef exhibits that were displayed in the specially fitted out stand in the Octagon of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele and the table and kitchenware items on show in Fiorucci and Peck, stimulating the interest of Milan“s citizens in the home, ways of living and lifestyles.
