Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles Autumn rescheduled to 2023

In light of the current pandemic circumstances in China, the 2022 edition of Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles Autumn will be deferred. The Autumn fair, which was originally scheduled to be held from 15 – 17 August at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai, will now take place in 2023 at the same venue. The fair’s organisers will announce the new date in due course.

Ms Wendy Wen, Senior General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, explained the decision: “After holding discussions with our stakeholders, we have made what we believe to be the responsible decision to delay the fair. While the call was made with the safety of the fair’s participants in mind, deferring the fair to the early part of next year will also allow more time for fairgoers to plan for their participation.”

“We understand that there is a lot of anticipation surrounding this fair, with exhibitors and buyers eager to connect in person. We would like to thank all participants for their patience and understanding, and also to express our continued dedication to provide a quality international trading platform for the home textile industry.”

Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles unveils three trend themes for 2023

This year, Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles again joins forces with NellyRodi™, the renowned French agency for international forecasting, to present the design theme for 2023 – ‘ALIVE’ – together with three trends: HUMAN CAPITAL, ROUSING COMMITMENT and UNREAL REALITIES.

Nature is a keyword in HUMAN CAPITAL
This direction reflects how people want to reconnect with the environment by choosing a local approach, short supply chains, raw and natural materials, and traditional techniques. For instance, 100% plant-based materials, as well as metalised fringed jacquards and gold yarns are used to illustrate this concept.

Inspired by everyday basics and daily essentials, the trend uses a soft, luminous white palette mingled with muted and amber shades of vegetal dyes. Designs also incorporate figurative hand-drawings, archaic bestiary, stylised wildflowers and geometric patterns.

For instance, 100% plant-based materials, as well as metalised fringed jacquards and gold yarns are used to illustrate this concept.

Inspired by everyday basics and daily essentials, the trend uses a soft, luminous white palette mingled with muted and amber shades of vegetal dyes. Designs also incorporate figurative hand-drawings, archaic bestiary, stylised wildflowers and geometric patterns.

ROUSING COMMITMENT celebrates creative self-expression
The trend combines a lively play of mix-matching patterns and colours. This embraces the integration of neutral shades through touches of metallic silver and fluorescent colours to represent the urban life.

Foamback and other fabrics influenced by sports materials, as well as extravagant jacquards, silicon embossing and bouclé fabrics draw out feel-good factor of the theme. Prints using modern twists on traditional patterns, lettering plays, exuberant florals and bold geometrics, also deliver the desire to live freely by sharing joy and happiness with others.

The fantasy of UNREAL REALITIES
In order to push the limits of imagination, science and technology, consumers tap into digital realms to connect with other realities, augmented worlds and futurist utopias that draw out the potential of today’s technology. Metalised rainbow colours highlight the magic and wonder under this virtual reality theme, while surrealistic photoprint shapes, misty landscapes, blurry effects and fantastical nature adds a futuristic touch.

The theme adopts iridescent gleam of semi-transparent voiles, muslins, recycled synthetics and added pearly or glazed aspects. Soft, light meshes, honeycombed or blistered surfaces and cloudy seersuckers elevate the textures in the fabrics.

The trends are decided by a committee led by the NellyRodi™ Agency (France) and formed by top forecasters including Mr Vincent Grégoire (France), the agency’s Consumer Trends and Insights Director; Mr Shen Lei (China), Founder and Chief of Interior Architects Design; and Ms Tracy Jen (Taiwan, China), the Host of ‘Eremito’; as well as Ms Sakina M’sa, the beloved French fashion designer and entrepreneur.

In order to integrate exhibitor and industry resources more effectively, the organisers of Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles have announced that the Spring and Autumn editions will be merged this year. The two fairs will now be held concurrently from 15 – 17 August 2022 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center.

Trevira CS at the Heimtextil Summer Special

The Trevira CS brand will be presented at Heimtextil 2022. This year the trade fair will be held as a one-time Summer Special from 21 to 24 June in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The booth will feature more than 200 fascinating, versatile, flame retardant Trevira CS fabrics.

These will be displayed in the Long Stay Apartment installation. Changing lifestyles, living and working arrangements as well as the housing shortage in countless large cities mean the Long Stay Apartment segment of the hospitality sector has experienced exponential growth, becoming ever more important. For this reason, it is the focus of this year’s Trevira CS booth. The presentation of the “Long Stay Apartment by Trevira CS” is intended to familiarise visitors – particularly interior architects, designers and furnishers – with the trendsetting, innovative uses of Trevira CS fabrics in the contract sector.

The presentation of the “Long Stay Apartment by Trevira CS” is intended to familiarise visitors – particularly interior architects, designers and furnishers – with the trendsetting, innovative uses of Trevira CS fabrics in the contract sector.

For the design of the apartment installation, the traditional Trevira CS Fabric Competition 2022 was announced at the end of 2021 and invited all customers to submit their latest Trevira CS products according to certain specifications. The winning fabrics will be announced at the trade fair and specially exhibited at the Trevira CS booth.

Director Marketing & Business Development Anke Vollenbröker: “Our exhibition gives exciting new insights into the modern concept of the Long Stay Apartment, presenting the live application of our customers’ Trevira CS innovations. An apartment designed for Long Stayers is a special challenge since it has to provide more than a hotel room or even an ordinary rental apartment: It needs to be an attractive temporary home while also offering the services and advantages of a hotel. We have made the Long Stay Apartment particularly “textile” and included submissions from all participants of our Trevira CS Fabric Competition 2022.”

Mit der Techtextil, Texprocess und dem Heimtextil Summer Special bringt die Messe Frankfurt textile Wertschöpfungsketten auf ihrem Messegelände zusammen und ermöglicht nach zwei Jahren der Pandemie wieder neue internationale Face-to-Face-Kontakte, Geschäftsbegegnungen und einen gebündelten Marktüberblick. Parallel sind in der Stadt Frankfurt das D2C Neonyt Lab (24. – 26.6.2022) der Messe Frankfurt und zahlreiche Publikumsveranstaltungen der Frankfurt Fashion Week, organisiert von der Stadt Frankfurt, geplant.
Das Angebot reicht von Garnen und Fasern über funktionale Textilien, textile Technologien und Finishing-Prozesse bis zu Endprodukten für textile Einrichtung, Performance-Textilien, Funktionsbekleidung und Fashion. Im Kontext des zunehmenden Bewusstseins für eine nachhaltige Kreislaufwirtschaft werden zudem auch moderne Recyclingverfahren vorgestellt.

Texpertise Network: die globale Branche unter einem Dach
Als Klammer für das globale Gesamtangebot an Textilmessen der Messe Frankfurt bietet das Texpertise Network mit 58 weltweiten Messen wertvolle Informationen zu den textilen Messemarken und nimmt als Plattform für Vernetzung und Austausch stetig die aktuellsten ressourcen- und klimafreundlichen Entwicklungen der Branche in den Fokus.

Seit 2019 ist das Texpertise Network das Bindeglied für die Zusammenarbeit der Messe Frankfurt mit dem Conscious Fashion and Lifestyle Network und dem United Nations Office for Partnerships. Das gemeinsame Ziel: die UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) auf allen Textilveranstaltungen des Texpertise Network weltweit sichtbar zu machen.

Die Heimtextil findet im Juni als einmaliges Summer Special mit 800 angekündigten Ausstellern und einer hohen internationalen Beteiligung aus 47 Ländern statt. Sowohl das internationale Großvolumengeschäft als auch der Einzelhandel bilden Fokusthemen der einmaligen Sommerausgabe.

Die Heimtextil-Trends stehen im Sommer unter dem Motto "Next Horizons" und legen im Zentrum des Messegeländes in Halle 4.0 einen Fokus auf Nachhaltigkeit und Ressourcenschonung. Der Aufbau des Areals basiert auf dem Material Manifest: Für das Standdesign werden lokale Ressourcen, umweltfreundliche oder geliehene Materialen benutzt. Besucher*innen erwarten inspirierende Inszenierungen von Farben, Materialien, kuratierte Ausstellerexponate, Vorträge und DIY-Aktionen.

Die „Heimtextil Conference Sleep & More" in Halle 3.0 bietet Vertreter*innen des Bettfachhandels, umweltbewussten Einzelhändler*innen und Entscheider*innen aus der Hotellerie eine erstklassige Speaker-Zusammensetzung mit u. a. neuesten Erkenntnissen der Schlafforschung, der Tracking-Technologie und zur Nachhaltigkeit in der Hotellerie.

Ein weiteres Highlight sind die einstündigen Green Tours mit einem unabhängigen Berater zu ausgewählten Ausstellern mit Austausch zu den neuesten Entwicklungen im grünen Segment. Im Green Village in Halle 3.0. stellen Expert*innen für nachhaltige Textilzertifizierung aus, darunter der Blaue Engel oder der Grüne Knopf.

Techtextil und Texprocess warten mit Innovationen auf
Vom 21. bis 24. Juni 2022 präsentieren Aussteller ihre Neuheiten im Bereich der technischen Textilien und Vliesstoffe sowie der Verarbeitung von textilen und flexiblen Materialien auf den internationalen Leitmessen Techtextil und Texprocess. Mehr als 1.100 Aussteller aus 45 Ländern, zahlreiche Gemeinschaftsstandteilnehmende und 13 internationale Pavillons freuen sich, ihre Produkte einem internationalen Fachpublikum vorzustellen. Techtextil und Texprocess machen Innovationen, neue Verfahren und Entwicklungen sowie progressive Ansätze u. a. mit Blick auf Nachhaltigkeit sichtbar. Dazu gehören neue Produktionsprozesse, Materialien und Maschinen.

Erstmals wird eine Digital Extension der beiden Messen angeboten. Diese ermöglicht Besucher*innen, die nicht persönlich vor Ort sein können, die Techtextil und Texprocess digital zu erleben und sich im virtuellen Raum auszutauschen.

Die Techtextil, Texprocess und das Heimtextil Summer Special finden vom 21. bis 24. Juni 2022 statt.

With over 10,000 visitors, the premiere event of Texhibition Istanbul Fabric and Textile Accessories Fair, organized by the Istanbul Textile and Raw Materials Exporters' Association (ITHIB) and the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce (ITO) from March 16th to 18th, 2022 has successfully started.

İTHİB President Ahmet Öksüz: "Our exhibition platforms Texhibition Istanbul Fabric and Textile Accessories Fair and IFCO, Istanbul Fashion Connection, which was launched by our sister association IHKIB in February, play an important role in making Istanbul the fashion center of the Turkish textile and clothing industry. For the follow-up event to Texhibition in September this year, we expect the number of exhibitors and space to double."

The consistently positive feedback from the exhibitors underscores this expectation, as does the great interest shown by international visitors, including those from Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK.

The Turkish textile industry started with an export target of US$ 15 billion in 2022. The exhibition organizers assume that their platforms will contribute US$ 1 billion. Turkey is one of the most important procurement markets for the European textile industry and is becoming even more important in the course of the global supply chain problem and is now one of the top 3 most interesting procurement locations with its low prices, good quality products, reliable suppliers and short delivery times.

Exhibitors
On offer were high-quality and innovative fabrics from the weaving sector, including Kipaş Textiles, BTD Textile, Özdoku, Bossa and Yünsa; knitters like Gülle, Saka, Örkumod or İskur showed their current collections; yarn market leaders such as Korteks, Tepa and Gama were present, as were Şimşek Ege, EMR Zippers, Çağ-Tek and Öz-El Lastik for the accessories sector. A total of 166 exhibiting companies presented themselves in clearly structured segments in a professional trade fair atmosphere.

Frame program
In the Texhibition Forum, experts discussed the topics Sustainability, New Trends, Supply Chain and GMO-Free Cotton giving an outlook on the upcoming trends and developments in the Turkish textile industry. All events were heavily frequented by visitors.

Heimtextil Summer Special: Rund 1000 angemeldete Aussteller aus 46 Ländern

Drei Wochen nach Verkündung des Heimtextil Summer Special haben sich bereits rund 1000 Aussteller für die Sommerausgabe der internationalen Leitmesse für Wohn- und Objekttextilien angemeldet. Mit einem globalen Angebot aus 46 Ländern, u. a. Frankreich, Indien, Italien, den Niederlanden, Pakistan, Portugal, Spanien, der Türkei und den USA, will die Heimtextil auch im Sommer ein vielfältiges Produktangebot der textilen Inneneinrichtung abdecken.

Drei Wochen nach Verkündung des Heimtextil Summer Special haben sich bereits rund 1000 Aussteller für die Sommerausgabe der internationalen Leitmesse für Wohn- und Objekttextilien angemeldet. Mit einem globalen Angebot aus 46 Ländern, u. a. Frankreich, Indien, Italien, den Niederlanden, Pakistan, Portugal, Spanien, der Türkei und den USA, will die Heimtextil auch im Sommer ein vielfältiges Produktangebot der textilen Inneneinrichtung abdecken.

Interessierte Unternehmen können sich weiterhin registrieren. Schwerpunkt der Veranstaltung bildet neben dem internationalen Volumengeschäft auch der Einzelhandel. Die Trendpräsentation in der Halle 4.0 geben wertvolle Orientierungshilfe für die Zukunft der Heimtextilbranche und beleuchtet deren Wandel zu einem langfristig ausgerichteten Denken für eine nachhaltigere Industrie. Zudem präsentieren zum Summer Special eine Vielzahl an Textildesignern aus aller Welt ihre Kollektionen.

Die Bestimmungen der Coronavirus-Schutzverordnung des Landes Hessen sehen zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt die Durchführung von Fachmessen in Frankfurt unter 3G-Regeln vor. Dies erleichtert insbesondere interkontinentalen Ausstellern und Einkäufergruppen – beispielsweise aus China oder aus Russland – die Teilnahme, da sie unabhängig von zugelassenen Impfstoffen möglich ist. Diese Entwicklung zeigt: Der Einsatz von Schutzmaßnahmen auf Fachveranstaltungen und während geschäftlichen Begegnungen wird immer stärker von Freizeitevents abgegrenzt betrachtet und bewertet.

Heimtextil Conference „Sleep & More“
Auch Beratungs- und Produktangebote für den Bettenfachhandel werden auf dem Heimtextil Summer Special umfassend beleuchtet. Dabei dient die Heimtextil Conference „Sleep & More“ als Anlaufstelle für Vertreter des Bettenfachhandels, wo sie ein Programm mit Vorträgen, Diskussionsrunden und Produktvorstellungen erwartet.

Heimtextil Trends und Nachhaltigkeit
Die Inszenierung der Heimtextil Trends in der Halle 4.0 ermöglicht Einblicke in die Einrichtungsthemen von morgen. In diesem Zusammenhang nimmt auch das Thema Nachhaltigkeit ein zentrales Thema auf der Heimtextil ein. Wie wichtig es ist, die Zusammensetzung von Textilien stärker in den Fokus zu rücken und die Unternehmen zu einem langfristig ausgerichteten Denken zu bewegen, beleuchten die Heimtextil Trends 22/23.

Techtextil & Texprocess
Zeitgleich zum Heimtextil Summer Special präsentieren Aussteller ihre Produkte und Neuheiten im Bereich technischer Textilien und der textilen Verarbeitungsindustrie auf den internationalen Leitmessen Techtextil und Texprocess. Mehr als vier Monate vor Start haben sich bereits rund 1.000 Aussteller angemeldet. Zusätzlich ergänzen zahlreiche Gemeinschaftsstandteilnehmende und zwölf internationale Länderpavillons die Auftritte. Insgesamt versprechen Anmeldungen aus 44 (Techtextil) bzw. 27 Ländern (Texprocess) einen umfassenden internationalen Austausch. Erstmalig bieten Techtextil und Texprocess 2022 eine Digital Extension: Ausstellende und Besuchende sind dadurch sowohl vor Ort in Frankfurt als auch virtuell anzutreffen und können sich in ergänzenden Formaten austauschen. Dazu gehören Matchmaking-Angebote, Round-Tables, Chat-Funktion, 1-zu-1 Videogespräche oder digitale Timetables.

Das Heimtextil Summer Special findet vom 21. bis 24. Juni 2022 statt.

The Home Textile Products for Campus & School Zone, as well as the Feather & Down Product Zone, will roll out again in the spring show after they were launched in the last edition. The Campus & School Zone was introduced to fulfil the rising market demand for domestic student bedding: “The current demand in China for student bedding is high. There are around 8 million new university students and 16 million secondary school students each year, and nearly all university students and 70% of secondary school students need bedding, equating to over 19.2 million sets needed each year,” Mr Shi Xiangyu, Department Manager at Yantai Pacific Home Fashion Co Ltd, a 2021 exhibitor, outlined.

Helping businesses to reach their target buyers
Ms Weiqing Peng, Trade Department Supervisor of Wujiang City Yunjie Textiles Co Ltd commented on how the 2021 fair has helped them during the challenging times caused by the pandemic: “We treasure this opportunity to communicate with customers face to face. Buyers usually need to touch the fabrics in person. Many domestic companies are enthusiastic about exhibiting here, and we’ve been really busy as many new and old customers came to our booth. This fair is very popular with the whole industry supply chain.” Mr Leo Chen from Yantai Pacific Home Fashion Co Ltd also applauded the fair for helping them to “reach some big brands in China and explore more cooperation opportunities.”

DOMOTEX will not take place in January 2022. This was announced by Deutsche Messe AG as organizer of the leading trade show for carpets and floor coverings.

"We have been fighting for DOMOTEX together with the exhibiting companies until the very end, and have been in daily communication with the industry for months," says Sonia Wedell-Castellano, Global Director DOMOTEX, Deutsche Messe AG.

"DOMOTEX is particularly affected by the impact of the Corona pandemic, as the vast majority of DOMOTEX exhibitors and attendees come from abroad. However, given the current pandemic situation, international business travel is not expected to recover in the short term," adds Wedell-Castellano.

Just over a month ago, the organizers wanted to stage DOMOTEX in the southern part of the Hannover exhibition grounds in a compact format as a Re-Start event in three halls, thus giving the industry a chance to meet physically after almost two years of pandemic.

Wedell-Castellano: "What was considered a realistic and promising Re-Start scenario a month ago, and was also well received by the market, has proven to be no longer feasible in recent days."

Assembling again for the first time since the pandemic began, 300 exhibitors from five different countries and regions welcomed visitors with an extensive and diverse selection of products in 10,390 sqm of gross exhibition space.

“As the place where designers set trends and decision makers meet, IFFT/Interior Lifestyle Living has once again proven to be the premier trade fair in Japan for the entire living space,” says Mr Yasushi Kajiwara, Managing Director of Messe Frankfurt Japan Ltd. “After last year’s fair was deferred due to the pandemic, we worked hard to present industry buyers with new impulses and ideas at this edition. This included an additional focus on up-and-coming designers at dedicated zones for new talent.”

Fresh talent and green living
With products for the entire living space assembled at the fairground, trade buyers were once again spoilt for choice, but a number of product zones in particular were worthy of special attention.
As a new initiative for 2021, the renowned Japanese architect Mr Keiji Ashizawa gathered prospective new interior designers and their products at the highly anticipated '+Talents' Zones.

To maximise connections, a series of fairground tours were also arranged to bring architects closer to the best new designers and their interior products for the Japanese market. A new 'Ethical' Zone was also introduced to spotlight green living, up-cycling, fair trade, and more.

Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles provided vital business platform

Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles concluded its 27th autumn edition in early October. Held alongside four other concurrent textile shows, the fair was the only major event for this sector able to take place in China during this season, providing a much-needed business platform for 735 exhibitors and 20,106 trade buyers. The fair was held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai).

Ms Wendy Wen, Senior General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd expressed: “Due to the valuable cooperation of many parties and the continued support of our exhibitors and other partners, we were able to hold the fair as scheduled despite a number of challenges. Since the pandemic situation was brought under control in China last year, we have expended considerable resources to ensure our textile fairs still take place to provide trading platforms that connect the global industry. This edition was especially important as it was the only major fair to take place in the country at this time.”

This edition was especially important as it was the only major fair to take place in the country at this time.”

While a number of international exhibitors participated this year with individual booths, the Belgium Pavilion presented home and contract products and five Chinese regional pavilions from Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Huzhou, Haining, and Tongxiang also featured. Two trend forums also provided inspiration for 2022, while the IKASAS Japanese Home Design Gallery, New Voices of Top Youth Upholstery Designers City Roving Exhibition and China International Fiber Art Exhibition gave further insights into various aspects of the industry.

Fair’s fringe programme highlights sustainability, design and more
As with all of Messe Frankfurt’s textile fairs around the world, sustainability is a big focus. A number of events under this focus took place in the fair’s fringe programme, including a half day forum titled How Sustainable Fashion is Reshaping Lifestyles, with a range of innovative companies and prestigious universities participating as speakers.

The Design Talk session featured a series of presentations from leading international designers, including from China, Japan and Europe, to share their design insights. And a new concept this year, titled New Voices of Top Youth Upholstery Designers – Intertextile Upholstery Design and City Roving Exhibition, showcased the work of six groups of young local designers from across China who presented the interior design ideas of their generation through displays and a forum. And reflecting the changes that continue to accelerate in the industry, a number of e-commerce and cross-border trade events took place, including sessions from the likes of JD Home, AliExpress and Tmall.

The 2022 Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles – Spring Edition will take place from 9 – 11 March, while the Autumn Edition is scheduled for 23 – 25 August 2022.

Bemberg™ by Asahi Kasei at Filo to unveil its smart DNA story that meet contemporary consumer needs

FILO, 29th-30th September 2021, booth C5

Bemberg™ by Asahi Kasei has been invited to showcase at Filo fair, the international exhibition of orthogonal weaving yarns for clothing and furnishings, circular knitwear and technical textiles, in a new special area, a dedicated open space reserved to sustainable fibers that will allow visitors to discover all their production cycle and performances, in full relax and transparency.

Bemberg™, an exceptional fiber made from the smart-tech transformation of cotton linters pre-consumer materials and converted through a traceable and transparent closed loop process, will brings to Filo its history, experience, know-how and market partnerships to prove its versatility and design-driven look and touch Last but not least we are talking about a true circular economy-oriented ingredient, with certified sustainable performance: Bemberg™ is biodegradable and compostable material as verified by the INNOVHUB 3rd party test and it has GRS (Global Reycled Standard) certification from Textile Exchange proving recycling authenticity.

Bemberg™, an exceptional fiber made from the smart-tech transformation of cotton linters pre-consumer materials and converted through a traceable and transparent closed loop process, will brings to Filo its history, experience, know-how and market partnerships to prove its versatility and design-driven look and touch Last but not least we are talking about a true circular economy-oriented ingredient, with certified sustainable performance: Bemberg™ is biodegradable and compostable material as verified by the INNOVHUB 3rd party test and it has GRS (Global Reycled Standard) certification from Textile Exchange proving recycling authenticity.

Bemberg™ application history starts with high-quality suit lining, but today we can find it in many other applications such as fashion couture, outerwear, innerwear, bedding, and sportswear where its amazing unique touch and quality is offering a distinctive performance.

And to prove all of this, Bemberg™ will be at Filo showing some selected fabric innovation, and three responsible-driven designers representing different and complementary part of contemporary consumer wardrobe: ZEROBARRACENTO, Maurizio Miri and WAXEWUL - who have all chosen Bemberg™ fiber to create special collections. Three different ways to see and represent how sustainability and style – even if completely different ones – together can be highly successful, performing and interesting to the new consumer.

ZEROBARRACENTO, a gender-neutral emerging outerwear brand focusing on zero-waste product development, selects Bemberg™ for two fundamental reasons: firstly, from a stylistic point of view for its extreme versatility: in the various collections we have adopted it to create Kimonos, padded jackets, wrap dresses as well as for the interiors of our garments, which are intended to be soft embraces for total physical and mental comfort. The second but no less important reason is that this fibre has circular values in line with their zero-waste commitment.

The concept of the brand "Maurizio Miri" has a strong personality and a clear intent: to create a product that stimulates the wearer towards beauty. A garment should not simply be worn, but it has also to create a perfect symbiosis with the person wearing it and generate an exchange of positive energies. The purpose is to make the individual feel in perfect harmony with their own image. With this aim in mind, the designer selects extremely precious Bemberg™ linings for their sophisticated tailor jackets.

Finally, WAXEWUL, a brand of sartorial clothing and artisan accessories with an urban-afro soul that has environmental and social sustainability as its basic ethics. WAXEWUL will bring to Filo its brand-new product, the J_Hood Bag: a doubleface jacket with a comfortably removable hood that can be transformed into a finely hidden doubleface bag. An exclusive, innovative and sustainable garment with minimal impact on the environment made of BemBAZIN™ - a new generation of bazin created, patented and produced by Brunello which is composed by the high-tech and responsible fibers of Bemberg™ - on one side and of wax on the other, traceable and certified, guaranteeing a reduction in waste (two jackets in one) and a long-life cycle.

Damit nimmt die Heimtextil die Planungen für die Trends zur nächsten Messeausgabe vom 11. bis 14. Januar 2022 in Frankfurt am Main auf.

Zum wiederholten Mal setzt sich das Trend Council aus den drei international renommierten Agenturen SPOTT Trends & Business (Dänemark), Studio FranklinTill (Großbritannien) und Stijlinstituut Amsterdam (Niederlande) zusammen. Erneut übernimmt Anja Bisgaard Gaede mit ihrem Team von SPOTT Trends & Business die Leitung des Projekts und verleiht damit den Heimtextil Trends 22/23 einen skandinavischen Touch. Zum Aufgabenbereich der Dänen zählt neben der Ausarbeitung des Contents auch die Konzeption der Trend-Präsentation während der Messe im Januar. Alljährlich markiert das Treffen des Heimtextil Trend Councils im Frühjahr den Auftakt der Vorbereitungen für die Fachmesse im kommenden Januar. Zugleich geben die Trendforscher dabei einen ersten Einblick, wohin die Reise in puncto Einrichtungsdesign in der nächsten Saison gehen wird. Damit legen die Trendforscher und die Messeverantwortlichen den Grundstein für die globale Trendaussage.

Darüber hinaus wird es in der nächsten Saison darum gehen, wie die Pandemie unser Leben und damit auch unsere Art des Einrichtens verändert hat. Besonderer Fokus liegt dabei auf dem Megathema New Work, das mit neuen Facetten betrachtet wird. Erste Einblicke in die Trendthemen der Saison 2022/23 und nähere Informationen zu den künftigen Designentwicklungen geben die Heimtextil-Verantwortlichen gemeinsam mit den Mitgliedern des Trend Council im Rahmen der digitalen Trend Preview im September.
