More than a year before the opening of Casa Brasil 2013, exhibitors are booking their exhibit spaces in the largest fair of design and business in Latin America, held in August next year in Bento Gonçalves. Companies that have confirmed their participation in the next edition of the event include Bertolini, Tramontina, Cinex, Bartzen, Schuster and Móveis Carraro. Promoted by Sindmóveis (Furniture Industry Association of Bento Gonçalves), Casa Brasil has established itself as a movement that inspires the appreciation of the Brazilian design. By bringing together designers, manufacturers and retailers in an exhibition of high-end contemporary products, the show has become a unique benchmark for furniture design, accessories, lighting and home appliances in Latin America.  In 2011 the third edition of the fair, held every two years in the city of Bento Gonçalves, had the participation of 180 exhibitors and 20,500 visitors from 14 countries generating a perspective of R$ 200 million in business over a 12-month period.
