From the Sector

Bobingen - The Trevira City fair stand, which was presented at Orgatec 2016 in Cologne, has been nominated for the Famab Award in the category architecture. The Famab Award is a highly renowned award for integrated brand experiences. The award is presented to important international projects in temporary and permanent architecture or interpersonal communication.

Head of Marketing Anke Vollenbröker: “We are delighted that the stand concept, which was designed for us by the interior designers at raumkontor, has been nominated for the important Famab Award. We are already extremely excited to see whether Trevira City will be awarded the Bronze, Silver, or Golden Apple at the award ceremony in the Forum am Schlosspark in Ludwigsburg on 23 November.”

The Trevira City, which was developed by the interior designers at raumkontor and realised by Buchhold and Glindemann GmbH, took up the fair’s theme: “New Visions of Work”. Trevira City, which comprised eight houses made of fabric, showed textile solutions for modern work environments. It offered a new perspective on modern work environments where the borders between working and living become blurred, thereby demanding new approaches to design. In between the houses, an open space was created that stands for the central themes of efficient work processes: communication, creativity, inspiration, networking, and motion.

The fibre manufacturer, who was a first time exhibitor at Orgatec, presented its stand in collaboration with six fabric partners who showcased their products in one of each of the houses: Baumann Dekor, Casalegno Tendaggi, Fidivi, Hohmann, Müller Zell, Pugi. The various facets of the exhibition display the huge range of possibilities created by the participating manufacturers with their Trevira CS products.

Other fabric suppliers also contributed to the textile furnishings of the fair stand. Création Baumann, JAB Anstoetz, Mattes & Ammann, and Silent Gliss were the sponsors for the textile decorations in the two Trevira houses.
