Heimtextil 2018 expands offer for architects and hotel furnishers
published on: 16 ottobre 2017
Heimtextil is taking the next step towards becoming a top innovation and
scientific platform for textile solutions in architecture and hotel design.
With the support of a think tank comprising members from across the
world, the world's leading trade fair for home and contract textiles
continues to expand its knowledge for the commercial segment.
‘Heimtextil offers an unbelievable range of products, incentives and
networking opportunities for architects, interior designers and hoteliers.
We aim to tease these out more from the overall portfolio of Heimtextil
and prepare them in a way that suits current requirements within the
industry. To this end, we have been in discussions with international
experts and developed some exciting ideas’, explains Sabine Scharrer,
Director of Heimtextil.
In mid-April, five representatives from internationally renowned
architecture and interior design studios met in Frankfurt am Main. They
included Lisa Hassanzadeh (concrete architectural associates), Peter
Ippolito (Ippolito Fleitz Group), Martin Lesjak (INNOCAD Architektur),
Tamara Pallasch (Pallasch Interiordesign) and Ushi Tamborriello.
Together, the expert team identified current themes in the industry and
developed ideas aimed at giving architects and interior designers even
more textile solutions and know-how suited to their needs at Heimtextil.
Determining and highlighting the performance and variety of applications
for textiles in architecture and contract furnishing is one of the main
objectives of the think tank. 'Textiles are often only used as decorative
elements. But this is wrong. They can create rooms and reveal worlds. I
would like to see the integrated use of textiles as space-building
elements', says Lisa Hassanzadeh. Peter Ippolito, Managing Partner
Ippolito Fleitz Group emphasises: ‘Textiles in all their facets are an
essential and identity-forming component of our construction culture.
Heimtextil, as the most important meeting place for the industry, has the
opportunity and mission to offer more than just pure product presentation and be a relevant source of inspiration and driver of innovation in order
to rediscover textile furnishing time and time again’.
Heimtextil combines all its expertise in applications for textiles in
architecture, hotel furnishing and fittings in the contract sector under the
title “Interior.Architecture.Hospitality”. In addition to a high-quality
programme of talks (Lectures Interior.Architecture.Hospitality), this also
includes industry-specific trade fair tours (Tours
Interior.Architecture.Hospitality), a special exhibitor guide (Guide
Interior.Architecture.Hospitality) and a meeting point for architects,
interior designers and hotel furnishers to network (Salon
Interior.Architecture.Hospitality). The selected offer provides architects
and interior designers with targeted added value. 'A curated selection of
innovative textiles or technologies enables professional visitors to orient
themselves and find inspiration within the broad range on offer', confirms
Ushi Tamborriello.
