The DecoTeam and the adjacent Design Lounge provide attractive offers and top brands for interior design. Carpets & Rugs, the home of the international carpet industry, grows by further hall levels. With its strong range and new formats, Heimtextil is once again proving itself to be a constant and reliable partner for the global textile industry.

Connected by textiles: under this motto, Heimtextil will unite the global textile industry at the exhibition grounds in Frankfurt from 14 to 17 January. The world's largest and most international trade fair for home and contract textiles and textile design provides a bundled market overview on 16 hall levels: from fibres and yarns, to unassembled materials, to the finished end product. ‘Despite the challenging market situation, Heimtextil is a strong and reliable platform for the global sector and offers retailers, industry and the contract business solutions for sustainable business success. For 2025, we expand our product range for specific target groups, create important synergies and look forward to welcoming numerous new exhibitors and returnees. We also launch two partnerships: for the first time, the Milan-based design platform Alcova will curate the Heimtextil Trends 25/26, and star designer and architect Patricia Urquiola will create a unique installation. Heimtextil 2025 makes textile interior design more visible than ever before’, says Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles & Textile Technologies.

Back to the future: the Heimtextil Trends 25/26

They are the most important source of inspiration and the must-see of the trade fair: The Heimtextil Trends 25/26. At the upcoming event, the design platform Alcova from Milan will curate the Trend Arena in Hall 3.0 for the first time. Under the motto ‘Future Continuous’, they put textiles in a different light and combine past trends with forward-looking influences - unusual, original, innovative. The platform for independent design rethinks the past and uses this as inspiration for the future. The Heimtextil Trends 25/26 provide an overview of sustainable, visionary and progressive developments. This makes them a decisive signpost for the industry and retail to keep their finger on the pulse of the times and strengthen their business success.

Design hotspot with Patricia Urquiola

Textile design redefined: Patricia Urquiola, the renowned designer and architect from Milan, creates a sustainable, textile design experience for Heimtextil 2025. The installation ‘among-us’ will combine interior design with hospitality, placing people and the immersive experience at the centre of attention. ‘among-us’ is embedded in the high-quality presentations of Bed, Bath & Living in Hall 12.0. Here as well as in Hall 12.1, well-known brands and private label suppliers will showcase exclusive bed linen and bathroom textiles, decorative cushions and bedspreads as well as home accessories. Exhibitors such as Beddinghouse (Netherlands), Lameirinho (Portugal), Marzotto Lab (Italy), Veritas (Turkey), Hellatex Textil (Austria) and Klaus Herding (Germany) as well as returnees such as Hermann Biederlack (Germany) and Formesse (Germany) will be there.
