TOURS, TALKS & TOURS, LIBRARY TOURS and LIVE TALKS, big questions and clear answers as well as an elaborately presented material library: This is how you can keep track at the international marketplace for home and contract textiles…
What is it that turns a trade fair into a world-leading one? Things like international appeal, the organisational expertise to bring certain contexts and trend developments vividly into focus, and 2,600 plus exhibitors from all across the world. This is Heimtextil, taking place from 9 to 12 January 2024 in Frankfurt. The programme includes contract textiles and textile design, decorative and upholstery fabrics, textiles for bed, bath and table, through to wallpapers, sun protection and carpets – and much more besides. But don't worry. To ensure that architects, interior designers and experts from related sectors always have an overview, the fair is again putting together a supporting programme tailored to the needs of professionals for the upcoming edition.

×Interior.Architecture.Hospitality
Orientation is provided by the Interior.Architecture.Hospitality programme, which runs like a thread through the various textile properties and requirements of the products on offer at the fair and provides a comprehensive and structured overview of new developments and products designed specifically for the contract sector. Visitors can use the Interior.Architecture.Hospitality FINDER to research exhibitors in advance so that they can target functionally specific textiles with flame-retardant, water-repellent or antimicrobial properties, for example.
