Tur ks ha ve c om e ! Major interior decoration events in Europe were all phenomena until a couple of years ago. Thousands of professionals would flow into those events for decades but they have ended up with a shrunk volume in last years and it has become more evident this year. I would always outline pinky schemes discarding little fluctuations but it has been very clear this time that we all have to admit the pessimism. Fair organizers had to find positive details among critical stagnancies but there was another very striking and eye-catching reality: Turks have already invaded the European shows. Some of the fairs would not accept Turkish exhibitors at all during last decades or they were extremely strict on choosing some. One Parisian event would not even accept Turkish visitors and magazines but they are now appealing very much and addressing to potential Turkish exhibitors and visitors at their promotional activities. Many of them work to pull even Chinese potential. Which one is more important, money or prestige? Nobody cares for prestige or reputation as they would pronounce when everything was great. Money leads the strategies in the then prestigious events now. Turkish participation is flashed and it is one of the most prestigious and attractive tools for the organizers. We are now in Kiev, an excellent market for the interior decoration industry and Design Living Tendency is the best venue for this in the whole region. We wish all the best for every single company involved!

To demonstrate the many possibilities of the digital printing technology, H ewlett-Packard joins forces with several well-known designers such as Karim Rash id. But in additio n to th is p o rtfo lio , co n sum ers are even able to p rint a p icture of their own on wall coverings. Sp ecific software allows them to get an exact look at what the final result will look like. “Digita l p rin tin g o n wa ll co ve rin g h a s e ve ryth in g go in g fo r it to be co m e h uge ”, Te rry co n clude s. “We 're a lre a dy a ble to p rin t o n te xtile s, p a p e r a n d n o n wo ve n s but a lso o n gla ss a n d m e ta l.

The Turkish home textiles industry has recently achieved success in dealing and combating with the negative aspects of the global economic crisis. Turkey is one of the major centers setting the trends and fashion in the global home textiles industry and Turkey is one of the world's top three exp orters of home textiles, with 5 % global market share. Turkish home textiles possess some critically unique features. Primarily, the sector, having a very strong quality image abroad, has a machinery p ark with the latest technology and an infrastructure with a flexible working style and a highly qualified labor force which can p roduce a wide range of products. The “Turkish Home Textile Sector�, unlike contracting manufacturers of only name brands - as in many divisions of textile; is one of the brilliant sectors with its design, product technology, R&D investments, p roduction cap acity and its worldwide brand names. Today, Turkey is exporting its own special collections to mature markets such as EU & USA and also exp orting to rising markets such as CIS, Far East and The Middle East. O c to b e r 2013
In 2 0 1 1 , it s e xp o r t vo lu m e s u r p a s s e d 3 b illio n d o lla r s . The sector offers highly quality production in a global market with its capacity, technology, quality and trend creating designs and is raising its market share by increasing p romotion and marketing activities. Among the main factors p roviding success in the sector, is brand creation. Today, it is apparent that the companies which truly ascend in terms of their brands become more p owerful in the international arena. Furthermore, adap ting to high value-added quality p roducts, participation in international fairs in order to introduce Turkish home textile p roducts, consideration of intellectual p rop erty rights, human health, environment and total quality management issues also aid in increasing the comp etitiveness in the sector. High scale companies acquire the highest level quality in all stages of production by integrating the production process from fiber and fabric manufacture to p roduct design, p ainting, finishing and sewing. This process has brought the companies acting in the home textile sector
84 HTE
to very key positions in Europe and worldwide. Here are some facts: The machinery p ark established to p roduce embroidery an d guip ure in Turkey is th e largest m ach in ery p ark in th e wo rld. Th e la rge st be ddin g fa cto ry in Euro p e is in Turke y. Turke y is o n e o f th e to p th re e sup p lie rs o f curta in s a n d embroidery in Europ e, and is also one of the top three global suppliers of towels. All of these companies run at high capacity, usin g m o dern tech n o lo gy an d a h igh ly qualified labo r-fo rce with well-trained human resource representatives. The success that this industry has gained in international trade is a result of the hard work of small and medium sized firms as well as la r g e , m o d e r n a n d ve r t ic a lly in t e g r a t e d c o m p a n ie s .
