The famous dutch REMisland will arrive in Amsterdam in March 2010.

FIR ITALIA, within the ambit of the Cersaie 2009, presented the preview of My Wellness – Interior Feelings, a bathroom representation made up of shapes, colours, water and light. There are graphic elements in the elegant and neutral black background enveloping the booth; they depict the movement, the daily events marking our lives, anticipation of a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere evoked by interior spaces. In a chromatic wisteria environment, the My Wellness – Interior Feelings logo shows both the harmony and the balance between opposites that complete each other, a situation reminiscent of serenity and balance.
