Just like most other fairs held in Germany, the Heimtextil in Frankfurt, is by far the biggest fair in its category, anywhere in the world. This fair, held once every year in January, is the biggest international trade show for the home furnishings and contract textiles. Next year in 2021, it is planned to be held from the 12th till the 15th of January. And hopefully, it will be a physical event rather than an online version of the fair.
Heimtextil is the fair opener for the year, and is the go to fair for retailers, wholesalers, designers, furniture and bedding stores, interior designers, architects and other decision makers, from around the globe. In the Heimtextil Trend space, one can find the new trends of the year. The fair, very masterfully combines the big names of the industry with the numerous new comers and start ups, who are able to establish a foothold in the world market, even as the visitors are able to interact with their old vendors and get in touch with new exhibitors every year.
However, this year, with the CoVid pandemic playing havoc globally, forcing more and more fairs to move into the digital space, the Heimtextil hopes to bring in a change by going the physical way as always. But there will be changes, with regard to health safety concerns. So they seem to have formulated a concept to ensure optimum hygiene, practice distancing norms, and generally make sure that the fair does not result in a boost to the spread of the virus. You can read about the detailed plan here. Hopefully, there may be a vaccine in place by the time the fair opens, and that will also help to make things better. It is now high time that business got back to normal, and the sooner the efforts are made in this direction, the better it will be for the world economy. Opening up of fairs, just might be the first welcome step in this direction. Lets all hope for the best!
