The webinar on the special theme Leather Business and Future Consumer / Furniture and Sustainability Edition will be broadcast live on October 15th, at 2 pm GMT. Register now for free at: www.cicb.org.br/webinarseries

The focus will be on the furniture industry, which has leather as an extremely significant raw material for the production of high-quality and durable pieces. This edition of the webinar will address the market demands, successful projects, the introduction of sustainability in the sector, and the novelties brought by the current social dynamic (which has been completely transformed, including the relationship of people with their homes).
