Planning for the next Heimtextil in January 2023 is in full swing. The industry expects an internationally unique platform for home and contract textiles, interior design, and trends at the start of the 2023/24 season. Over 2,200 international exhibitors from 50 countries have registered for the event. The internationality of the event also remains high. Among the participating companies are promising names from all over the world.
The industry participants are courageously meeting the major challenges and are using Heimtextil to further internationalize their clientele. Under the current market challenges, the industry shows a great desire for inspiration and new approaches to solutions, as well as for creating new customer relationships globally.
Thematically, the overarching theme of sustainability will also be clearly visible at Heimtextil 2023. With the exhibitor guide, “Green Directory” as well as the “Green Village”, that offers a platform for discussion with the seal providers, Heimtextil offers important points of orientation in the jungle of the many sustainable offers. The popular trade fair tours “Green Tours” will also once again take interested visitors to curated exhibitors to learn more about their sustainability strategy and their products. Last but not least, the impressive “Future Materials Library” will be presented again as part of the Trend Space at Heimtextil 2023.
Manufacturers and weavers will find a global range of fibers and yarns for decorative and upholstery fabrics – for the first time compactly and centrally located in a separate area in hall 4.0. Around the area, visitors also await high-quality suppliers of outdoor fabrics, technical textiles for the contract sector and imitation leather.
Natural, synthetic or blended. Elastic, durable and functional: In hall 4.0, the upcoming Heimtextil offers an international range of fibers and yarns as well as finished decorative and upholstery fabrics, from the preliminary stage to textile finishing. Already established suppliers from the fiber and yarn segment will be bundled with new exhibitors in hall 4.0 and presented centrally. “With this compact product range, we are responding to an increasing need among manufacturers and retailers: being enabled to shape product development as early as the preliminary stage. A holistic view in the design process is becoming increasingly important – especially for upholstered furniture, which is subject to ever more sustainable as well as functional demands, starting with the fiber,” says Bettina Bär, Director Heimtextil for the home textiles sector.
“We are looking forward to taking off in new markets at Heimtextil. We have completely changed the finishing of our fabrics to reduce the environmental impact and are presenting new designs with thicker textures that the market is demanding. The next Heimtextil is the right platform to show these novelties to a large number of professionals from different parts of the world in just four days. At the same time, through face-to-face exchanges, we get a direct feel for what customers want and receive immediate feedback,” says Citel’s marketing department, delighted to be taking part in Heimtextil 2023.
“With its line-up for the Interior. Architecture. Hospitality, Heimtextil is once again offering a high-grade programme of events for the contract business. Thus, the 2023 edition is set to be the ideal platform for exchanging ideas and information with the international sector, for making and cultivating business contacts and for generating inspiration in the textile furnishing market. We are looking forward to presenting an unrivalled and multifaceted spectrum of international exhibitors and programme content. At Heimtextil 2023, you can be sure of gaining inspiration and finding solutions suitable for your business”, explains Heimtextil Director Bettina Bär.
