The world of flooring at Domotex 2018

Even before Domotex 2018 takes off, it’s already becoming clear that the 30th edition of the world’s leading
trade show for carpets and floor coverings will be a very strong and innovative affair, sporting an extensive lineup of new features.

Domotex Hanover is one of the most professionally organized trade shows in Germany, dedicated exclusively to the architectural designing and floor covering industry. The show provides the right platform for attending exhibitors to get in touch with a large number of prospective buyers, thereby boosting up their overall sales figures. Over 40000 visitors attend the Domotex show, from more than 87 countries. More than half of the total number of show
attendees hail from foreign shores. Participants have always expressed their satisfaction with the various activities that are conducted during the show.

This year, visitors can look forward to improved orientation on the site.  The new hall layout will bring together product groups and facilitates the market overview. For the first time, the daily schedule of the fair will also change: in the future Domotex will take place from Friday to Monday (12-15 January 2018).

Carpets, textile floor covering options, wooden and parquet flooring and floor lamination are some of the main items of exhibit at the show and the latest market trends and patterns are closely deliberated upon by the industry professionals attending the event. The total exhibitor count here is in excess of 1400 and the show is attended by more than 500 media personnel as well.

Domotex 2018 will boast a new exhibition layout and an optimized hall restructuring adapted to the needs of a changing marketplace. Product segments will be bundled in dedicated display areas, thus helping trade visitor orientation and enabling a better market overview.

Hall 9 is the new jewel in the crown of Domotex. It is the home of the ‘Framing Trends’ display area, a richly diverse and immersive showcase in which established companies, industry newcomers and artists will engage with the keynote theme in an array of creatively staged displays. ‘Framing Trends’ comprises four distinct zones, where visitors will be able to experience and interact with all kinds of out-of-the-box ideas and designs. In the “Flooring Spaces” zone, companies from the floor coverings industry will stage extraordinary product showcases that play with and reflect on the individualization trend. Next-door, exhibitors will partner with interior designers to craft inspiring spaces and lifestyle realms in the “Living Spaces” zone. Then there’s the ‘NuThinkers’ zone, where students and young designers will redefine interior design with a dazzling array of unconventional ideas and product prototypes. And finally, the ‘Art & Interaction’ zone will present the keynote theme of ‘UNIQUE UNIVERSE’ in a sensory feast of exhibits from the worlds of art and design, paired with interactive multimedia displays. To ensure that ‘Framing Trends’ delivers a consistently high-quality visitor experience, the organizers have appointed a panel of experts under the leadership of Peter Ippolito, of Büro Ippolito Fleitz Group (Stuttgart, Germany), who will determine which of the ideas and designs submitted
are worthy of going on display.

As its name suggests, the ‘NuThinkers’ zone is for alternative thinkers who can envisage a world beyond the main stream. The exciting new ideas on display there will include a new kind of floor heating system inspired by reptilian thermoregulation, a self-driving robotic painter that can create personalized floors, and a virtual reality software that uses body movement to create individualized spaces in real-time.

When it comes to exploring the keynote theme, the sky is – literally – the limit in the “Art & Interaction” zone. “Meanwhile in the Universe”, for instance, is an installation in which visitors can open a window to catch their own little glimpse of infinity – in the form of a live feed of outer space from NASA. Further, the upcoming show will feature a captivating program of speaking events – the DOMOTEX Talks – inspired by the “UNIQUE YOUNIVERSE” keynote theme.
