Heimtextil, the textile industry’s largest trade show, occurs January 14 - 17 in Frankfurt am Main.
Wallpaper - a key design trend
Wallpaper, which is celebrating a comeback, will set the accent for stylish interiors again next year. Wall covering suppliers will be weaving their magic with impressive decors and new material concepts, ranging from wallpaper, wall coverings, plaster to wallpaper and paint combinations. The industry is revelling in both unparalleled variety and high demand from the contract furnishing and homestyle sector. Ulrike Wechsung, Director Textile Fairs: “Wallpaper is a key theme at Heimtextil. We are delighted that we also have the opportunity to convert this product world into a theme for newcomers with an attractive special show. In 2009, young designers will be competing for the first time in a wall design contest.”
