230 companies from 20 countries at revamped. MoOD & Indigo Brussels are creating from September 6 till 8 an international meeting-place for professionals in the interior branch. With a trendy new location, a revamped exhibition concept and 230 companies from 20 countries, MoOD / Indigo Brussels has established itself once again.
Brussels Airport, Brussels and Tour & Taxis are going full steam ahead
The airport is fully operational again and taking a plane from Brussels is running as smooth as ever. There are no longer any full systematic checks and the time between arrival at the airport and the gates is less than one hour. Various huge events like the ‘Zinneke Parade’ and the ‘20 km through Brussels’-run have witnessed the arrival of over 35.000 people in the city centre. In the first weekend of June Tour & Taxis will also be used as the festival location for Couleur Café, a music festival with over 60.000 party-goers.
Tour & Taxis, a prime location with eye-catching architecture at walking distance of the city centre
Tour & Taxis is the new venue for MoOD/Indigo Brussels. The halls of the magnificent industrial site are filled with natural light and are home to, amongst others, ArtBrussels, the most exclusive art fair in Belgium. The centre of Brussels is not far away. After a 30 minute walk you’ll be standing in the middle of the “Grand-Place”. We even encourage our visitors to get there by (a rented) bicycle.
New exhibition concept with high customer experience
MoOD/Indigo Brussels is aiming for an increased customer experience. This includes a unique stand concept, in which face-to-face contact is the central objective. Visitors and exhibitors communicate best by talking to each other in person in order to create strong bonds around the creations and collections they offer. The inspiring environment is laced with several quiet zones and culinary hotspots. Our partner Visit Brussels also has a number of surprises in store for those visiting in September.
Full House in September
230 companies from 20 countries and a growing number of young or starting entrepreneurs have already registered. Together these producers and designers offer sophisticated collections for upholstery and window & wall covering. They will form the industrial heart of Europe with a high quality offer from Belgium, Turkey, Spain, Italy, India and 12 other countries. Indigo Brussels also is an international event. The design studios originate mainly from France, UK, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan and 10 other countries.
‘Shed Bis’ halls aim for innovation and rejuvenation
In these ‘Sheds’, divided into 6 inspirational zones, a growing offer of innovations, inspirations and young entrepreneurs is blossoming:
