Success Stories: Aussteller der DOMOTEX ermöglichen innovative Raumgestaltung

Die hohe Zahl an Anmeldungen für die DOMOTEX 2019 weist schon jetzt auf eine erfolgreiche Messe vom 11. – 14. Januar in Hannover hin. Viele der Aussteller sind bereits dabei, den Messeauftritt detailliert vorzubereiten, um ihre Produktneuheiten optimal zu präsentieren – die Vorbereitungen laufen auf Hochtouren. Das neue Leitthema „CREATE’N’CONNECT“ der DOMOTEX rückt den Megatrend der Konnektivität in den Fokus. Für den Boden mit seinen vielseitigen gestalterischen Möglichkeiten spielt der Trend der „Vernetzung“ eine besondere Rolle. Er bildet die Basis der Räume, in denen wir leben und arbeiten.

Wichtige Impulse und Inspirationen für den Boden der Zukunft bietet die Sonderfläche „Framing Trends“ in Halle 9. Hier können Aussteller und Unternehmen der Fußbodenbranche ihre kreativen Ideen anhand des aktuellen Leitthemas darstellen. Durch ihre inspirierende Wirkung ziehen die „Framing Trends“ Hersteller und Besucher aus aller Welt an. Als globale kommunikative Plattform ermöglicht es ihnen die DOMOTEX, sich im Sinne von „CREATE’N’CONNEXT“ mit Ausstellern zu vernetzen, woraus vielfältige Kooperationen entstehen.

Als globale kommunikative Plattform ermöglicht es ihnen die DOMOTEX, sich im Sinne von „CREATE’N’CONNEXT“ mit Ausstellern zu vernetzen, woraus vielfältige Kooperationen entstehen.

Mit ihren innovativen Produkten sind Aussteller der DOMOTEX 2019 bei Interior Design-Projekten in aller Welt präsent. Internationale Architekten und Innenarchitekten setzen ihre Teppiche, Fußböden und Verlegetechniken gezielt ein, um kreativ gestaltete Räume zu schaffen, bei denen der Boden zum verbindenden Element des Gesamtkonzepts wird.

Vom historischen Ballroom in Chicago über einen Bookstore mit Café in Oslo bis zum neuen Allianz Stadion in Wien: Architekten, Interior Designer und Planer binden die Bodengestaltung in ihr kreatives Konzept ein, um dem Interieur den letzten Schliff zu verleihen, der ein harmonisches Ganzes bewirkt. Teppichfliesen, handgefertigte Teppiche, Holzfußböden und Verlegewerkstoffe der Aussteller Oriental Weavers, Galleria Battilossi, Chapel Parket sowie Classen, Fletco und Uzin Utz, die auf der DOMOTEX ihre Premiere hatten, sind ein wichtiger Bestandteil dieser trendorientierten Rauminszenierungen.

Der Boden als verbindendes Element des Interior-Konzepts

Das Blackstone Hotel wurde 1910 in der Innenstadt von Chicago erbaut. Zur Renovierung der Räume entwarf The Gettys Group ein neues Interior Design, das sich harmonisch mit den Wänden und Decken im historistischen Stil verbindet. Für den Crystal Ballroom, besonders beliebt als Location für Hochzeiten, wurden Oriental Weavers aus Ägypten mit der Sonderanfertigung eines überdimensionalen Axminster Teppichs beauftragt. Der Teppich besteht aus 80 Prozent Wolle mit einem Polyamidanteil von 20 Prozent, um ihn strapazierfähig zu machen. Das symmetrische Muster erinnert an riesige Wellen, die auf die direkte Nähe des Hotels zum Lake Michigan anspielen und trägt zu einem einzigartigen Raumerlebnis bei. Oriental Weavers werden auch 2019 auf der DOMOTEX hervorragende Kreationen aus dem Bereich  maschinengewebte Teppiche ausstellen.

Gebrüder Thonet Vienna hat seinen Hauptsitz nach Turin in ein ehemaliges Fabrikgebäude verlegt. In der Mitte des neuen Showrooms werden Klassiker des Möbelherstellers in hohen Regalbauten gezeigt, an den Seiten sind zeitgenössische Modelle zu sehen, die in Kooperation mit renommierten Designern entstanden. Für die Gestaltung des repräsentativen Empfangsbereichs wählte CEO Riccardo Pigati handgefertigte Wollteppiche aus dem Programm von Galleria Battilossi, deren innovative „Pattern Mix Collection“ auf der DOMOTEX einen Carpet Design Award gewann. Die Gelb- und Beigetöne des Unikats aus dem „Color Jam Project“ sowie eines Vintage Berberteppichs aus der Region Beni Ourain verbinden sich mit Farbakzenten der Exponate zu einem harmonischen Gesamtbild aus alt und neu. „Qualität und handwerkliche Fertigkeiten, Originalität und Authentizität“ seien Werte, die sein Unternehmen mit Galleria Battilossi teile, sagt Pigati. „Aufgrund dieser Verbundenheit haben wir uns dafür entschieden, unseren
Showroom mit den außergewöhnlichen Teppichen aufzuwerten“.

In Oslo teilen sich eine Boutique-Abteilung für Damenmode und ein angegliederter Buchladen mit Café im zweiten Stock des YME Multistores einen gemeinsamen Bodenbelag. Bei der Gestaltung der 330 qm großen Bodenfläche entschied sich das Designteam der YME Studios gemeinsam mit den Innenarchitekten des Osloer Büros Snøhetta für die „Hermitage Herringbone“ Serie von Chapel Parket. Den lebendigen Holzboden in drei konstrastierenden Farbtönen wählten sie aufgrund seiner leicht rauen Oberfläche und der ausdrucksvollen Farbigkeit aus. Das Schwarz der Parkettelemente verbindet sich mit den Fensterrahmen und den Bücherregalen, die warmen Holztöne harmonieren mit dem Vintage-Sofa und grob belassenen Holzbalken. Wie in den vergangenen Jahren ist Chapel Parket mit seinen charaktervollen Holzböden auch Aussteller auf der DOMOTEX 2019.

Direkt an der Mosel, in einem denkmalgeschützten Gebäude in Cochem, befindet sich das Boutique Hotel Villa Vie. Inhaber Theodor Steidel hat die Gästezimmer selbst geplant und eingerichtet, jedes hat seinen individuellen Charme. Antike Möbelstücke kombiniert er mit aktuellem Design und Kunstgegenständen. Zur Abrundung der Interieurs entschied sich der Hotelier für die robusten und PVC-freien Designböden aus der „SONO Skyline“ Kollektion von Classen aufgrund ihrer Langlebigkeit, dem geräuscharmen Auftritt und der natürlich wirkenden Holzdekore mit leicht glänzender Optik. „Der Boden passt sich dem Mix aus wertvollen Antiquitäten und modernen hochwertigen Möbelstücken ausgezeichnet 4 an,“ erklärt Theodor Steidel. Zudem nähme er sich wohlwollend zurück und besteche doch durch seine Struktur und Haptik. Bei der Ausstattung der Räume habe Steidel nach einem „hochwertigen Produkt mit modernem Design gesucht, das bestens gegen Feuchtigkeit geschützt ist.“ Auch im Badbereich hat er sich deshalb für einen Boden aus der „SONO“ Kollektion entschieden, die auf der DOMOTEX als Messeneuheit vorgestellt wurde.

Der Softwarehersteller Playtech hat in Tallin neue Büroräume auf einer Gesamtfläche von 3200 qm bezogen. Jan Skolimowski vom Architekturbüro KAMP legt in seinem Designkonzept besonderen Wert auf die Bodengestaltung. Als Leitidee für die Innenräume nutzte Skolimowski das Dreieck des „Play“- Buttons, ein grafisches Element des blauen Playtech Logos. „Deshalb habe ich nach einem passenden Teppichboden für den Objektbereich gesucht, dessen Dekore und Farbpalette zum Logo passen. Die Kollektion Sebastian Wrong by Fletco  war meine erste und einzige Wahl.“ Im Zentrum der Räume ließ der Architekt dunklere Töne der Fliesenkollektion verlegen, zu den Außenwänden hin werden die Nuancen heller. Dadurch wirken die Büros noch großzügiger. Vom Boden ausgehend nimmt sein Interior-Konzept Dreiecksformen und Blautöne auf, beispielsweise bei Sitzkissen auf Holzpodesten, dem Empfangstresen oder dekorativen Wandelementen. So vernetzen sich die Böden mit Möbeln und Wänden. Der Londoner Designer Sebastian Wrong präsentierte seine wandlungsfähige Kollektion für den Hersteller Fletco erstmals auf der DOMOTEX.

In einer Bauzeit von nur 17 Monaten wurden im Allianz Stadion des SK Rapid Wien 10.000 qm Boden fertiggestellt und 8.000 qm Vinylbelag verlegt. Maßgeblich für das Gelingen des Bauprojekts war das richtige Timing für die Untergrundvorbereitung mit Verlegewerkstoffen von Uzin Utz. In der Regel messen Estrichfelder bis zu 40 qm, auf dieser Baustelle kamen bis zu 300 qm große Felder zustande. Denn der Boden der Business-Lounge-Bereiche auf zwei Ebenen sollte möglichst fugenfrei sein, um Vinyl- Bahnen großflächig verlegen zu können und die einheitliche ästhetische Wirkung zu erreichen, die sich Architekt Guido Pfaffhausen wünschte. Deshalb wurde über alle Fugen zwischen den Betonbauteilen das Glasvlies RR 203 von Uzin Utz als Rissbrücke verlegt und mit der standfesten Spachtelmasse NC 182 dünn eingespachtelt sowie 5 verschlossen. Durch diese Vorgehensweise musste der Estrich weder eingeschnitten noch verdübelt werden, ein wichtiger Aspekt des Interior-Konzepts. Nach dem Schleifen und Grundieren trugen die Bodenleger die selbstverlaufende Ausgleichsmasse Uzin NC 160 in zwei bis drei mm Stärke im Rakelverfahren auf. Sie ist spannungsarm, sehr fließfähig und bildet völlig ebene  Untergründe. Durch die besonders glatte Oberfläche und die hohe Saugfähigkeit reduziert sich zudem die benötigte Klebstoffmenge: Der Kleber trocknet schneller und weist weniger Resteindruck bei Belastung auf. Nach einem Tag war die Spachtelung begehbar, dann konnte geschliffen, die Vinylbahnen zugeschnitten und verklebt werden.

Auf beiden Ebenen der Business- Lounge, in Fluren, Gängen, Konferenzzimmern und VIP-Logen sind Vinyl-Objektbeläge von Forbo Flooring in Holz- und Beton-Dekor in verschiedenen Farbabstufungen verlegt. Die moderne Betonoptik der Vinyl-Objektbeläge sorgt im großen Loungebereich für ein modernes Erscheinungsbild, authentische Holzdessins setzen harmonische Akzente in den VIP-Logen. Die Beläge wurden mit dem emissionsarmen Universalklebstoff Uzin KE 16 formstabil verlegt, um die Anforderungen an Optik und Funktionalität im Stadion zu erfüllen.

Für die Bodengestaltung ist der Trend der „Vernetzung“ von großer Bedeutung. Der Boden ist Designelement, er inspiriert uns, gibt uns Orientierung – und verbindet uns miteinander. Auf die Bodenbranche trifft dies im besonderen Maße zu, da er die Basis für alles bildet. Die DOMOTEX ist Weltleitmesse sowie die größte Innovations- und Trendplattform der Branche. Als jährliches Highlight der Szene regt die Messe Aussteller und Besucher mit ihrer lebendigen Atmosphäre zu kreativer Zusammenarbeit an.
