One of the most professionally organized trade shows in Germany, sets benchmark traditionally year after year is all set to kick off today from January 11 to 14, 2018 at Hannover Exhibition Ground, Hannover, Germany. This edition of DOMOTEX is shaping up nicely with clear indication that this leading trade show for carpets and floor coverings will enjoy a particularly strong and international industry turnout.
Domotex is dedicated exclusively to the architectural designing and floor covering industry. The show provides attending exhibitors get in touch with a large number of prospective buyers, thereby boosting up their overall sales figures more than half of the total number of show attendee’s hail from foreign shores and an overwhelming majority of the participants have already expressed their satisfaction with the various activities that are conducted during the show. Carpets, textile floor covering options, wooden and parquet flooring and floor lamination are some of the main items of exhibit at the show and the latest market trends and patterns are closely deliberated upon by the industry professionals attending the event. The total exhibitor count here is in excess of 1400 and the show is attended by more than 500 media personnel as well.
The DOMOTEX tradeshow will once again serve as the epicenter for all things concerning floor coverings. As the leading trade fair for the international floor coverings industry, the event showcases innovations and trends that set the tone for the coming season. For over 30 years, DOMOTEX has supported exhibitors from the carpet and floor covering industry in presenting and selling their products in the world’s most promising markets. As a dynamic international brand owned by the Deutsche Messe group of companies based in Hannover, Germany, DOMOTEX is embodied by a trio of international trade fairs, each with its own distinctive focus and exhibitor and visitor makeup: DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR, DOMOTEX Turkey and – making its debut next year – DOMOTEX USA.
DOMOTEX is a unique platform which brings together flooring industry exhibitors and visitors at three different locations. Exhibitors can position themselves locally and build up an effective network across the world’s continents. In addition to the flagship DOMOTEX fair in Hannover, Germany, there are specialized offerings for Asia-Pacific, Turkey and the Middle East and – starting next year – in North America as well.
“Our brand is generating an ever-growing amount of international attention and enjoying increasing recognition,” says Susanne Klaproth, project director for the DOMOTEX Worldwide portfolio of events.
The new keynote theme CREATE’N’CONNECT for DOMOTEX, the word’s leading trade fair for floor coverings, will be an opportunity for floor covering manufacturers to distinguish themselves as industry trendsetters: The connectivity megatrend should be presented by them in inspiring visualisations in the special Framing Trends showcase in Hall 9, which is a real visitor draw. The redesigned DOMOTEX – with its more transparent clustering of allied products and the visually stunning “Framing Trends” showcase – has been warmly embraced by the market and is now gearing up for its second season. DOMOTEX 2019 will run under the banner of “CREATE’N’CONNECT”, a keynote theme that puts the spotlight on innovative flooring industry developments and ideas inspired by today’s connectivity megatrend.
Powered by advanced technology and digital change, being connected is a tremendously important aspect of our daily lives and interaction at home and on the job. Connectedness is an important aspect of flooring in the sense that floors are unifying, connecting elements of room design. Floors and flooring provide the very foundation for the rooms in which we live and work. Floors inspire us, give us orientation and set the stage for human interaction.
The finalists for the Carpet Design Awards 2019 have been determined!
A total of 233 hand-made carpets from 15 nations were submitted for the 2019 Carpet Design Awards . From among this number, an international jury of design and carpet industry experts has selected the very best, putting 24 finalists through to the final round of the world’s most prestigious award for excellence in carpet design. For each of the award’s eight categories, the jury has selected three exclusive creations which they believe stand out from the rest in terms of design, quality and craftsmanship.
These finalists will now be whittled down to just eight overall winners – one in each category – who will receive their awards at a special DOMOTEX ceremony held at the “Framing Trends” showcase at 6 p.m. on 12 January 2019. The Carpet Design Awards, an annual highlight of the show’s section on modern, hand-made carpets, are highly valued in international carpet circles, and their outcome is already the subject of great anticipation.
