Recently, it marked a milestone by inaugurating the first reading room at the Benito Salas Airport in Neiva, designed exclusively for tourists.
With the purpose of commemorating the 100 years of Civil Aeronautics and the centenary of “La Vorágine”, the emblematic novel by José Eustasio Rivera, Ashley Furniture Homestore Colombia installed, from June 17 to July 4, a reading room carefully furnished to offer visitors a comfortable and welcoming environment to enjoy literature while waiting for their flights.
As part of this cultural initiative, Ashley Furniture Homestore Colombia launched a call for a local artist to capture a literary work on one of its best-selling pieces of furniture. The Huila artist Diego Galvis, an expert in muralism, sculptures and oil painting, was selected to intervene on this piece of furniture that was donated to the airport.
This sofa not only highlights the historical and cultural importance of this event, but also becomes a visual focal point that creates a significant impact on visitors.
This unique work of art will be permanently installed in the airport facilities, symbolizing Ashley Furniture Colombia’s continued commitment to promoting regional art and culture. The intervention had the support of Civil Aeronautics, the Government of Huila and the Bogotá International Book Fair.
