Preparations for the upcoming floorcoverings show DOMOTEX 2019 (11–14 January 2019) are already in full swing and dedicated university teams are working on visionary concepts which will be on display at the special “Framing Trends” showcase in Hall 9.
The new lead theme for DOMOTEX 2019, “CREATE’N’CONNECT”, shines a spotlight on the megatrend of connectivity, with particular emphasis on floors, including the myriad design options offered by them.
This “Framing Trends” display will provide key ideas and inspiration for the floors of the future. Here, flooring exhibitors and companies will demonstrate their creative ideas in connection with the lead theme. Featuring a series of unique developments and product presentations, the “Framing Trends” showcase will serve as a magnet for visitors and manufacturers alike. As a global communications platform, DOMOTEX allows its exhibitors to network with trend-oriented architects, interior designers and designers in the spirit of “CREATE’N’CONNECT,” resulting in a variety of creative collaborations.
The innovative products created by DOMOTEX exhibitors are present in interior design projects all over the world, with renowned international architects and interior designers taking wooden floors, carpet tiles and handmade carpets and using them to create lifestyle-oriented rooms in which floor design becomes the connecting element of an overall interior design concept.
Whether at the Canadian Studio Munge, the Chicago Design Network or Snøhetta from Norway; architects and interior designers are integrating floor designs into their overall creative concept to give interiors that final touch to produce a harmonious whole.
Projects like these demonstrate the importance of flooring within the context of holistic concepts in which materials, textures and colours are all connected. At the same time, they provide a vibrant illustration of the lead theme “CREATE’N’CONNECT”. Because the floor is a design element, it inspires us, provides us with orientation – and connects us.
