HEIMTEXTIL 2019: A LIVELY START TO THE NEW FURNISHING SEASON GIVES HOPE FOR A GOOD BUSINESS YEAR AHEAD With record levels of exhibitors and an impressive range of innovative products as well as offers on top themes such as sustainability, contract business and healthy sleep, Heimtextil 2019 enjoyed a dynamic start to the new season for home and contract textiles. The event’s new hall concept met with broad approval.
3025 exhibitors from 65 countries* took the international trade fair for home and contract textiles to a 15-year high: ‘Exhibitors and visitors accepted the new trade fair concept with great enthusiasm and confirmed the trade fair’s position as the world’s most important meeting place for the industry. The quality of the decisionmakers impressed the exhibitors, as did the number of new business contacts from 156 countries, especially international ones – thus enabling Heimtextil to set a new benchmark’, says Detlef Braun, Member of the Board of Management of Messe Frankfurt. ‘Around 67,500 visitors** ensured that there was a busy atmosphere in the halls, despite a slight decline due to various reasons, such as difficult travel conditions on account of the storms in the alpine region and airport strikes in Germany’. One topic that occupied both exhibitors and visitors was the current and future economic situation. A further challenge is the increasingly evident changes that are happening in trade. Increasing revenues and revenue shares in online retailing stand in the way of the efforts made by the stationary retail trade to maintain their inner-city businesses. 18

he small business specialist trade, but also department stores and multibrand stores, and thus the heart of our visitor target groups, are under pressure from the constantly increasing levels of e-commerce. With Heimtextil and our consumer goods fairs in general, we offer these retailers in particular clear perspectives and diverse inspiration in an ambiguous world’, continues Braun. Economically challenging times for the home textiles industry As a strong international trade fair platform, Heimtextil is important for the industry, especially in economically challenging times. Martin Auerbach, Managing Director of the Association of the German Home Textile Industry, praised the new trade fair concept: ‘The exhibitors started 2019 with a great deal of commitment and new and attractive stand designs.

he new hall structure with the excellent new hall 12 enjoyed a high level of acceptance amongst exhibitors and visitors alike. The segments of furnishing fabric/curtains and interior privacy and sun protection, now presented together in a central position in hall 8, particularly benefited. Hall 4.2 was significantly upgraded compared with the launch year 2018 and was barely recognisable thanks to its clear structure, attractive design and high-quality exhibitors. Heimtextil has thus expanded the contract segment in an outstanding way’. Hall 4: the world of furniture and decorative fabrics and a hotspot for contract business Heimtextil once again focused on the furnishing of hotels and contract properties with a wide range of information and networking possibilities. Under the title Interior Architecture.

ospitality, interior designers and hospitality experts experienced Heimtextil as the platform for textile contract furnishing. With product presentations, lectures and guided tours, it provided valuable impetus that was supported and made possible by renowned industry partners such as AITdialog, the Allgemeine Hotel- und Gastronomie-Zeitung (AHGZ), the Bund Deutscher Innenarchitekten (bdia), specialist conference organiser hotelforum management and the online platform WorldArchitects.com. Martina Metzner, owner of a communication office for interior design and design, gave a talk as part of the bdia trend lecture and took participants on guided WorldArchitects tours to selected suppliers of contract textiles: ‘At Heimtextil there is a clearly recognisable trend towards textiles being rediscovered in interior design. After having been banished from rooms for several years, they are
increasing in importance again, not least because of a variety of new sound-absorbing functional textiles’. In hall 4.2, thecompany Trevira CS, together with 27 top customers and its own trend area especially aimed at the contract market, revealed how versatile and versatile polyester fibres can be in terms of both appearance and feel as well as their functional properties. ‘Trevira was very satisfied with Heimtextil 2019’, stated Marketing Director Anke Vollenbröker. ‘We also received great feedback from our co-exhibitors at our joint stand. We continue to take a very positive view of the way that hall 4.2 is developing into a contact point for decision-makers and companies active in the contract sector. This applies in particular to the range of activities on offer in the lecture area and the presentation of the hall itself’. 23
Trends and progressive themes In 2019, the Heimtextil ‘Trend Space’ had a new home in hall 3.0 for the first time. With the title ‘Toward Utopia’, it provides a preview of the design developments of the 2019/20 season as conceived by London’s FranklinTill Studio and staged by the Frankfurt studio Markgraph. The new Heimtextil Trends 2019/2020 in many ways reflect the desire to escape from complex lifestyles and create deeper relationships with our environment as well as bring more meaning into everyday life. ‘Toward Utopia’ shows the way into this modern utopia, from temporary time-outs in close contact with nature and a retreat into virtual worlds to cosiness in minimalist spaces and nostalgia for beauty and luxury. The Trend Space shared a hall with international textile designers, CAD/CAM suppliers and digital printers and thus formed the core area for the progressive themes of trends, textile design and digital printing.
E
xhibitors such as Hewlett Packard benefited from this inspiring environment. Paula Camarasu, EMEA Large Format Production Marketing Manager, explains: ‘Exhibiting each year at Heimtextil opens up new opportunities for us. We launched HP Latex large format printing with a focus on wall coverings. But then we stumbled across a new market for window decoration. And there is now also market potential in a large number of other application areas. With the recently launched HP DesignJet Z9DR, which is ideal for design studios, the new hall 3.0 made it easier for us to get in contact with design studios. Heimtextil is a central contact point for many industries where we can all come together to network and do business’. Sleep becomes new lifestyle theme Heimtextil also focused on sleep as one of the upcoming lifestyle trends. While a balanced diet and sufficient exercise are now a natural part of a healthy lifestyle, restorative sleep is still neglected* although it is one of the most important building blocks for long-term physical and mental well-being.

t Heimtextil, a number of new products and aspects came to the fore that help people become sensitised to and analyse their sleep behaviour and promote healthy sleep. Around the redesigned hall 11.0 and in the adjoining lecture area ‘Sleep! The Future Forum’, representatives from the national and international bed industry enjoyed attractive product presentations and superb speeches on the topics of sustainability, hospitality, sport and digital. Nick Littlehales, sleep coach of five-time World Cup footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and four-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton, presented his findings from his 22 years as a sleep coach for top athletes. Prof. Ingo Fietze, Head of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Sleep Medicine at Berlin’s Charité and chairman of the German Sleep Foundation, was also one of the speakers and provided information about the ‘power engine of sleep’. Exhibitors in hall 11 benefited from the first-rate multi-faceted presentation of the sleep theme as well as from the new design of the hall where international market leaders presented their new products in the product segment ‘Smart Bedding’. Bedding, sleep systems and mattresses as well as associated technology were available to peruse. Denise Hartmann from Hefel Textil confirmed: ‘We found the new concept and the fact all the bedding manufacturers are now together in one place very good. We had a good frequency of visitors to the stand, all the major customers were there’.
The world of bed linen and bathroom textiles in the new hall 12 As part of the new concept, Heimtextil also integrated the new hall 12, which has been an architectural highlight enriching the Frankfurt Exhibition Centre since September. Top international companies from the Bed & Bath Fashion segment presented their wares here. For the company Curt Bauer from Aue in Saxony, the première of the new hall was a successful one: ‘We’re very enthusiastic about the new hall 12. The product range there was very well received. We are very satisfied with the quality of visitors to our stand. In addition to a good frequency of German visitors, we are particularly pleased about growth from China and Russia’, says Managing Director Michael Bauer. Shrikant Himatsingka, Group CEO & General Manager of the company Himatsingka was also pleased about the high level of internationality amongst the visitors: ‘Our whole team was very busy and got excellent responses. Buyers from Germany and all corners of Europe, the Arabian and Asian regions were amongst our visitors, including many long-term business partners. For us, it was a good event’. Karl Lindhe, Export Area Manager from the Lexington Company also came to exhibit at Heimtextil for the first time again in a long while because of the new hall: ‘It’s really good that all the brands are together. We all benefit from each other. We were able to make good contacts, not only from Germany but also internationally’.

DONGHIA 3D Collection
V
iew textiles in a new way with Donghia’s 3D Collection. The 3D’s: Design, Dimension, and Durability serve as springboard and mantra for offerings with attributes well beyond the ordinary. Imaginative design has been cleverly paired with print, weave or embroidery to best create durable product of intriguing dimension, texture, and depth.
The resulting textiles exhibit a purposeful layering of craft. Surfaces are alive, energized and in motion, as if powered from within. “Jet” starts with a handprinted, multi-screen pattern which is later embroidered with abstracted motifs to suggest sprays of water. “Tilt” starts with a base of suede-like velvet, which is next printed with a rhythmic pattern of metallic, painterly, diagonal stripes. Performance peaks with a group of five indoor/outdoor offerings utilizing all-new solution-dyed acrylic yarns.
These have the softness of fine interior textiles, yet the resulting weaves repel water and can happily serve on the sunniest verandas. “Woolish,” as example, is fully practical, while it mimics fine cashmere to amazing effect. From sensuous sheer to weighty upholstery, DONGHIA’s 3D Collection features original, graphic, dynamic patterns, tactile constructions, and meaningful properties; all in the brand’s signature, visionary color palette.
