December 2023 : Between New Work, Healing Hospital, Outdoor Spaces and Sustainability: What are the key challenges in contract design and what do future-proof textile solutions look like?
Heimtextil will provide answers to these questions from 9 to 12 January 2024 with its Interior.Architecture.Hospitality programme.
The proven format will now be even more extensive and international.
In addition to the numerous high-profile TALKS & TOURS, the LIBRARY is one of the central tools for experts from the fields of architecture, interior design and hospitality.
2024, the curated Interior.Architecture.Hospitality LIBRARY presents innovative functional textiles from selected exhibitors, including Edmund Bell, Futura Leathers, Marburger Tapetenfabrik, Proneem, Textaafoam or Vanelli Tekstil.
The material library focuses on the following properties: flame-retardant, sound-absorbing, lightfast, antimicrobial, dirt-repellent and scrub-resistant.
A large number of companies presented their products to the renowned expert jury, which includes Gerhard Sperling (German Home Textile Industry association), Jasmin Grego (GREGO Jasmin Grego & Stephanie Kühnle Architektur) and Felix Diener (Marburger Tapetenfabrik).
Function meets innovation meets design: the jury members agreed on the remarkably high quality of the submissions: "As the challenges in architecture increase, so do the demands on textile solutions. This makes it all the more important to me that the innovations from Heimtextil exhibitors continue to inspire me”, reports Jasmin Grego from the jury meeting, which took place in Frankfurt am Main at the end of November 2023.
Her jury colleague Gerhard Sperling adds: "The technological developments of functional textiles have taken on an impressive dynamic in recent years, which the submissions for the Interior.Architecture.Hospitality LIBRARY 2024 have once again confirmed. It was not easy for us to make a selection, but in the end, we were able to present a result that really reflects the new state of the art for functional textiles."
Felix Diener emphasises the special added value of the LIBRARY for Heimtextil visitors: "I generally welcome the fact that this material library is also available online. But in order to be able to judge the design quality, especially in terms of haptics, structures or designs, it is essential to experience textiles live. The LIBRARY is also irreplaceable for this." On the boulevard in hall 4.0, the curated material library presents pioneering functional textiles for the contract business. In the LIBRARY TOURS, the three jury members will personally guide through their selection.
