Floor & More – DOMOTEX 2020 zeigt ganzheitliche Gestaltung von Boden, Wand und Decke

Das aktuelle Leitthema der DOMOTEX 2020, die vom 10. bis 13. Januar in Hannover stattfindet, lautet „ATMYSPHERE“. Unter diesem Motto inszeniert die Weltleitmesse für Teppiche und Bodenbeläge die unterschiedlichen Aspekte des persönlichen Wohlbefindens in den Räumen, in denen wir leben und arbeiten. Ein Aspekt ist „Floor & More“: als Wand- und Deckenverkleidungen schaffen Teppiche, Korkelemente oder Designpanels eine ganzheitliche Gestaltung sowie eine in sich stimmige individuelle Raumatmosphäre zum Wohlfühlen, wie Produkte von Ausstellern der DOMOTEX zeigen.

Oriental Weavers stellen Wandteppiche her, mit denen man Räume in einem stilistisch aufeinander abgestimmten Look einrichten kann – Produkte für den Boden und die Wände aus einer Hand. „Seychelles“ heißt ein moderner Webteppich mit stimmungsvoll abstrahiertem Motiv in kühlen Farbtönen, der in fünf verschiedenen Größen gefertigt wird. In Kombination mit dem Kissenbezug „Kelim“ im Vintage Design und in warmen Farben, der besonders gut zu Bodenbelägen mit Orientmustern passt, lassen sich harmonische Raumatmosphären gestalten.

In Kombination mit dem Kissenbezug „Kelim“ im Vintage Design und in warmen Farben, der besonders gut zu Bodenbelägen mit Orientmustern passt, lassen sich harmonische Raumatmosphären gestalten.

„Kelim“, in drei Größen erhältlich, besteht aus einer strapazierfähigen Mischung aus Chenille, Viskose und Polyester und kann auch als Sitzkissen genutzt werden. „Dekwall“ von Wicanders, eine Marke der  AMORIM Deutschland GmbH, ist ein von der Natur inspiriertes Programm mit Wandelementen auf Kork-Basis, die es in einer Vielzahl an Mustern, Texturen, Farben und Formen gibt. Kombiniert mit den Korkböden des Herstellers lassen sich interessante Interieurs schaffen, bei denen der Boden auf Wunsch optisch in die Wandgestaltung übergeht oder auch nur eine Wand im Raum als Eyecatcher mit Dekwall-Elementen gestaltet ist. Durch das natürliche und nachhaltige Material Kork sind die Module geeignet, eine komfortable Wohn- oder Arbeitsatmosphäre zu schaffen, bei der Geräusche gedämpft sind. Zudem wirkt das Material wärmedämmend. Die lebendig strukturierten Wandlösungen von Wicanders bestehen aus zwei Korklagenund sind pflegeleicht sowie hypoallergen.

Mit den „SwissClic-Panels“ von Swiss Krono lassen sich ganzheitliche Raumkonzepte unkompliziert realisieren: Das präzise Clic-System ermöglicht die einfache und s chnelle Montage ohne Spezialwerkzeuge. An Wand und Decke werden die einzelnen Elemente nahezu fugenlos zu einer Fläche zusammengesetzt. Die Panels kann man durch eine spezielle Grundierfolie in einer umfassenden Farbpalette streichen. Darüber hinaus gibt es sie in authentischer Holzoptik sowie mit einer rauen Betonoberfläche für unterschiedlichste Interior Design Konzepte. Die Oberflächen der Elemente sind widerstandsfähig, sie sind leicht zu pflegen und auch als geräuschabsorbierende Akustik-Verkleidungen erhältlich, die den Lärmpegel im Raum um bis zu 50 Prozent mindern. Moderne Beläge für Boden, Wand und Decke, mit denen sich ganzheitlich gestaltete Interieurs zum Wohlfühlen gestalten lassen, präsentiert die DOMOTEX dem Publikum vom 10. bis 13. Januar auf dem Messegelände in Hannover. Passend zum Leitthema „ATMYSPHERE“ zeigen Aussteller dort innovative Produkte, mit denen man in sich stimmig gestaltete Innenräume schaffen kann – Floor & More.

Shanghai - For the 22nd edition, each flooring sector will have a theme. The highlighted product category in wood is solid wood for ground heating systems. The category is taking over the entire hall showing new technologies, new designs and new products in floor heating. Solid wood for ground heating systems is growing in China – according to China National Forest Products Industry Association, around 80% of China's wood flooring brands have developed the product.

At the same time the market share is increasing by more than 30% annually. It is expected that by 2025, the market size of solid wood for ground heating systems will reach RMB 10 billion (approx. 1.4 billion USD). The international and local market leaders, such as Junckers, Foglie d’Oro, Edelholz, IBF, Teclic, Nature, Fudeli, Bloor, Jinyi, Licher, Nuogao and Moganshan have already confirmed their participation at the show. Also in this hall we see the latest developments in the market in the dedicated InnovAction campaign.

The resilient flooring section will be spread out to 69,500 sqm gross, featuring Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) flooring. Among the resilient halls, there will be an “Inspiration Hall”, housing InnovAction campaign and design forum, where famous interior designers will educate the audience on using resilient flooring in interior. The InnovAction will be upgraded by showcasing the new products within matching interior spaces. This new way of presenting the InnovAction products is ideal for both manufacturers to share the ideas and for visitors to keep up to date with the market trends.

Carpet section will promote carpet as a driving force for interior design, with a dedicated hall being the epicenter of home and design carpets and the host hall for the Luxury Brands Carpet Show – a showcase of the most sought-after international high-end carpet design brands. After the successful first edition in 2019, Chinese Original Carpet Design Show comes back to promote the works of young Chinese carpet designers. Country pavilions from Germany, Belgium, Iran and Turkey will also showcase their products among the carpet halls. Traditionally DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR has been focused on B2B, however due to the market changes, the end users are more and more welcome to the show. In order to give the oriental carpets and rugs the spotlight and follow the trends, Indian and Afghanistan pavilions will be creating a new area - “Treasure of Orient”.

In 2020, DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR will cover more than 185,000 sqm of gross space, taking up 16 halls at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. Five of the exhibition halls will be dedicated to carpets and rugs, four to wood, bamboo and other hard floors, 2 to FLOORTECH asia and 5 halls to resilient floor coverings. In 2019, the show gathered 1,579 exhibitors from 36 countries and attracted 66,875 trade visitors, of which 15,092 international, coming from 107 nations.

„Der Tempelhof ist eine großartige Location, das war uns von Anfang an klar. Und ganz offensichtlich sind auch die Brands von der neuen Location und dem Konzept der Neonyt begeistert. Das freut uns sehr. Dass der Platz gerade knapp wird, liegt auch daran, dass einige unserer langjährigen Aussteller ihre Fläche deutlich vergrößert haben. Zum anderen möchten sich zahlreiche neue Brands auf der Neonyt präsentieren und auch das Interesse aus dem Ausland wächst weiter“, so Thimo Schwenzfeier, Show Director der Neonyt bei der Messe Frankfurt.

“In China, the overall economic slowdown, and of course, the trade conflict with the United States is creating uncertainty,” explained Ms Wendy Wen, Senior General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. “However, thanks to the population size and purchasing power of the Chinese market, even a slower growth rate can equate to good business potential. The Chinese home textile industry is continuing to perform well against all odds. This steady growth injects confidence to the market.”

INNATEX: Internationale Fachmesse für nachhaltige Textilien

„Strong Base, Wide Horizon“ – so lautet das Motto der nächsten INNATEX, die vom 18. bis 20. Januar 2020 bei Frankfurt am Main stattfindet. Hintergrund ist der Beginn einer strategischen Revision der Marke, die Entwicklung und Fortschritt denkt und noch deutlicher auf die traditionellen Werte der Messe und ein solides Fundament setzt.

Das regelmäßige Update der Ansprüche bezüglich Nachhaltigkeit, Kooperationen, Einkäufermanagement und Inhalte bewirkt, dass sich das Projekt INNATEX fortwährend weiterentwickelt.

Nachhaltigkeit: Nicht nur im Modebereich, sondern als 360-Grad-Ansatz
Ein Teil dieses Fundaments ist die bewährte Messelocation in Hofheim-Wallau, auf das der Veranstalter nun intensiver den Fokus legt. Die MUVEO GmbH wird das Haus 2020 als Betreiberin übernehmen, was mehr Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten bei Infrastruktur und Ausstattung mit sich bringt.

„Wir hinterfragen alles“, sagt Projektleiter Alexander Hitzel, „vom Abfallmanagement und ein neues Catering über Materialeinsparungen beim Marketing sowie die Optimierung oder Wiederverwertung der Ausstattung bis hin zur Wirtschaftlichkeit, die sich nicht zuletzt auch positiv für alle Partner auswirkt.“ Zudem arbeiten die Veranstalter am Ausbau der Maßnahmen, die über ökologische und ökonomische Standards hinausgehen. Dazu gehören etwa der Plattformcharakter für GOTS, der Kidsbereich und die Förderung der INNATEX Community.

Strong Base, Wide Horizon: Auf die Community kommt es an
„Die INNATEX besteht seit über 20 Jahren und ist eine Institution mit soliden Werten“, so Alexander Hitzel, Projektleiter beim Veranstalter Muveo. „360-Grad-Nachhaltigkeit bedeutet nicht nur Umweltfreundlichkeit, sondern auch Seriosität und Fairness, Familienfreundlichkeit, Kooperation statt Konkurrenz, Glaubwürdigkeit, zukunftsfähige Arbeitsformen sowie die Work-Life-Soul-Balance.“ Von dieser starken Basis aus können die Showrooms, Modelabels, DesignDiscoveries und internationale Partner noch wirksamer ihre Vision von einer nachhaltigen Modewelt weitertragen – auch das ist die Botschaft des neuen Mottos.

Monforts at Techtextil India

Monforts Textilmaschinen GmbH & Co. KG will be providing information on its extensive range of coating and finishing technologies for the production of nonwovens and technical textiles at the forthcoming Techtextil India exhibition.

“India is already a very important market for Monforts and there are exciting prospects ahead for Indian manufacturers of technical textiles, who are well positioned to capitalise on growth opportunities,” says Monforts Head of Denim Hans Wroblowski, who will be at the Monforts stand in Hall 4, booth C52 at the show. “India has one of the largest working-age populations in the world and a complete textile value chain for both natural and synthetic fibres.”

In addition, he adds, India’s government, through its Ministry of Textiles, has been actively promoting the growth of technical textiles through various programmes based on investment promotion, subsidies, the creation of infrastructure and the stimulation of consumption.

“India is already a very important market for Monforts and there are exciting prospects ahead for Indian manufacturers of technical textiles, who are well positioned to capitalise on growth opportunities,” says Monforts Head of Denim Hans Wroblowski, who will be at the Monforts stand in Hall 4, booth C52 at the show. “India has one of the largest working-age populations in the world and a complete textile value chain for both natural and synthetic fibres.”

In addition, he adds, India’s government, through its Ministry of Textiles, has been actively promoting the growth of technical textiles through various programmes based on investment promotion, subsidies, the creation of infrastructure and the stimulation of consumption.

As a result, India’s Ministry of Textiles is forecasting that the growth of technical textiles in the country will be over 18% annually in the next few years, from a value of US$16.6 billion in 2018 to US$28.7 billion in 2021.

Value addition

High value-added technical products such as wide-width digital printing substrates, carbon fabrics for high-performance composites, filter media, flame retardant barrier fabrics and heavy-duty membranes are now being coated on Monforts texCoat ranges and finished with the company’s industry-leading Montex stenters.

“Since we acquired the technology that our coating units are based on in 2015, we have made a lot of refinements,” says Hans. “All of these developments are reflected in higher coating accuracy and the resulting quality of the treated fabrics. At the same time, our latest multi-functional coating heads offer an unprecedented range of options, with a wide range of modules available.”

The texCoat user interface is now equipped with the unique Monforts visualisation system and the magnetic doctor blade has greater power reserves. Options include a carbon fibre-reinforced composite coating drum with a more scratch-resistant surface and maximum rigidity and remote control which simplifies exact adjustment for the operator.

Montex stenters in special executions are meanwhile ideal for the drying and finishing of both technical woven fabrics and nonwovens and characterised by high stretching devices in both length and width.

“The European-built Montex range of stenters has earned its leading position in the technical textiles market due to the overall robustness, reliability and economy of these machines,” Hans concludes. “Whatever the intended end-product – and we continue to discover potentially new areas in which technical textiles can be utilised all the time – we have the machine specification and know-how to turn ideas into reality. In India we also benefit from the strong sales and service support of A.T.E. Enterprises.”

Texchtextil India takes place alongside World of Composites at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai from November 20-22.

“Our analyses show that many commercial users in retail, the metal industry and viticulture currently don't see storage as an integrated part of their energy systems and thus do not tap potentials for energy efficiency and climate protection,” says Andreas Moerke, Director ESE. “By cooperating with the leading trade fairs in these industries, we can show thousands of companies how energy storage can contribute to climate protection. In the coming months, we will approach the numerous customers of these trade fairs and connect them to energy storage system providers at ESE.”
