Several key thematic threads emerge within the diverse presentations from over 20 international galleries set to go on show. \nMaterial Marvels\nThis year’s gallery program presents pioneering examples of collectible design by world-leading craftsmanship with a deep appreciation for materiality. Galerie Desprez-Bréhéret (Paris) and debut Paris exhibitor Galerie Yves Gastou (Paris) present a collection of pieces by Jean Touret.  \nTable\, tabouret and totem by Jean Touret & Artisans de Marolles at Galerie Desprez Beheret.

Each piece is on display in Paris for the first time. Highlights include Raphael Navot’s Encompass sofa\, which sits at the presentation’s heart. The gallery also showcases Dr. Samuel Ross’ Amnesia or platelet apparition? and ANAESTHESIA I – both reflecting upon the evocative power of materials. Other highlights include a rare and early ceiling lamp by Ettore Sottsass. \nAnaesthesia I by Dr. Samuel Ross at Friedman Benda. Photo Timothy Doyon \nThe Legacy of Modernism\nThis year’s gallery program also pays homage to the profound legacy of Modernism. Galerie Patrick Seguin (Paris) presents the legacy of French Modernism through a curated collection of 20th-century collectible masterpieces by designers including Jean Prouvé\, Le Corbusier\, and Jean Royère. The striking dialogue with the classical interiors of L’hôtel de Maisons speaks to French design’s rich history and evolution.  \nMeanwhile\, Galerie Downtown-Laffanour (Paris) places 20th-century French masterpieces in conversation with 21st-century icons. A thoughtful selection of works by French luminaries Charlotte Perriand\, Jean Prouvé\, and Serge Mouille is presented alongside visionary works by Ron Arad\, Choi Byung Hoon\, and Ettore Sottsass.  \nDesign Miami.Paris Design at Large Highlights\nThis year’s Paris fair also offers an extensive Design at Large program. It includes rare and significant works presented across the courtyard\, interior and gardens of L’hôtel de Maisons. The 17 presentations set to go on show span contemporary and historic highlights.  \nFriedman Benda (New York/LA/Paris) and Carpenters Workshop Gallery (London/Paris/New York/Los Angeles) present two works by celebrated American designer Wendell Castle (1932-2018)\, known for his groundbreaking approach to design and his crucial addition to the field’s sculptural vocabulary. \nAnother key highlight comes from Galerie Downtown-LAFFANOUR (Paris)\, which brings a Jean Prouvé post-war prefabricated house. It was originally built in 1946 in Prouvé’s home village\, Carnac. The house was designed with easy assembly and dismantling in mind\, intended to house his family. The only remaining building with Prouve’s signature character intact\, the house references a rich historical dimension. \nThe Carnac House\, by Jean Prouvé for Galerie Dowtown LAFFANOUR \nSalon 94 Design (New York) presents two editions of Rick Owens’s Tomb Chair. Through his choice of subtle and rare materials\, Owens suggests the beauty of nature\, inspired by his favorite shapes from Eileen Gray to Brâncuşi to the skateparks in California.  \nWhy visit\nDesign Miami.Paris is the French edition of Design Miami\, and like the other shows it is a collectors’ fair. Even for non-buyers\, it is an unmissable opportunity to see pieces by the great designers of the past up close. In addition\, the Design Art Large program offers a chance to see rarer pieces\, and contemporary designers who try their hand at one-of-a-kind pieces and limited editions.

Since the first edition\, CIFF has been hosting the East Design Show. The exhibition\, curated by Zhu Xiaojie (a renowned interior designer)\, host students and young designers\, and let them express themselves around a theme. In addition to students and young designers\, several emerging brands exhibit here.

In 2019\, for example\, the conference “Architecture: from Alvaro Siza’s Modernism to the Digital Future” took place. The forum star was Alvaro Siza\, the Portuguese architect who designed the China Design Museum of Bauhaus Collection\, in Hangzhou\, a building opened in 2018 that houses the Bauhaus Collection of the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou (CAA). The forum\, titled “Designed for Humans: From Alvaro Siza’s Modernism into the Digital Future\,” organized by CIFF and Aedes Architecture Forum\, brought together seven world-renowned architects. \nDiscover the contemporary office at CIFF Guangzhou 2024 \nCamerich Pavilion by studio Alvaro Siza Vieira\, 2019 \nThey were Sou Fujimoto\, António Choupina\, Anouk Legendre\, Philip Feng Yuan-a professor at Tongji University; Martha Thorne\, secretary of the Pritzker Prize; Mario Carpo\, professor at University College London; and Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen\, professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. The subject of the conference was production in a digital future. \nAlso in 2024\, there will be an exhibition dedicated to Álvaro Siza\, Siza Theme Exhibition\, an exhibition on his design and architecture. \nThe exhibits at CIFF Shanghai\nSeveral brands collaborate with international designers and architects\, but Camerich\, an internationally renowned company\, takes advantage of CIFF Shanghai to explore topical issues in design and architecture\, designing booths of great interest. In 2019 for example\, it was the turn of the Siza Pavilion for Camerich\, a more than 700 square meters pavilion named “Portuguese Elephant.” Besides the size\, which was definitely large\, what stood out in that project was the attention paid to the booth’s architecture\, rather than the display of products. \nDiscover Cersaie Bologna 2024 \nCamerich Pavilion by Alvaro Siza\, 2019 \nFirst of all\, to create a silent and rarefied atmosphere inside the pavilion\, the outer walls were made of a material that insulated from heat and noise\, covered with mineral wool and aluminum\, with an additional silver layer that was both scenic and fireproof. The floors were made of natural oak\, the walls were white plaster\, and the rooms were revealed in succession\, as in the courtyards of Chinese houses. In fact\, the pavilion had seven entrances\, which created different viewpoints. Similarly\, the company chose to display only two products\, illustrating the various stages of their creation\, from design to fine-tuning. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\nNeri & Hu x Camerich Pavilion\, 2022\nIn 2022\, on the other hand\, the world-renowned firm Neri & Hu designed a sustainable and recyclable stand for Camerich\, as well as a very impressive one. A lattice of more than 1\,000 bamboo canes drew a space where visitors moved freely. The structure could be expanded or narrowed as needed\, and besides\, bamboo is a particularly sustainable wood\, that grows quickly and is suitable for many processes. The bamboo structure enclosed the walls on the outside\, leaving only a tiny entrance. Inside\, there was an articulated pathway\, in a succession of corridors and islands with furniture products. The various islands thus became rooms\, real domestic settings\, reminiscent of a real home. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\nDesign Eden: A New Paradigm\nThe next edition of CIFF Shanghai takes place from September 11 to 14\, 2024. The claim of the next edition will be “Design Eden”\, to emphasize the cultural and design component of the fair. Indeed\, at CIFF Shanghai\, design and business integrate seamlessy\, and a community of 300\,000 designers finds multiple opportunities for cultural enrichment and business opportunities. \nWhy visit\nCIFF Shanghai is one of China’s most influential design and furniture events.

With its new products and trends\, Heimtextil Frankfurt kicks off the upcoming season and gives important impulses to exhibiting companies and professional visitors worldwide. \nHeimtextil Frankfurt: a leading fair\nHeimtextil is one of the most important trade fairs in upholstery textiles and interior design. In addition to upholstery textiles\, manufacturers of carpets\, household linens\, technical textiles\, and fabric technologies are exhibited at Heimtextil.\nBefore the pandemic\, Heimtextil reached about 2\,700 exhibitors and exceeded 67\,000 visitors in some editions. It is an international fair\, confirmed by exhibitors from more than 59 countries. Visitors also come from all over the world\, from 129 countries. The audience is the vast majority of professionals\, and decision-makers are more than 60 percent. Nearly 30 percent of the operators include small retailers\, large chains\, large-scale retail\, and e-commerce; 21 percent are distributors. 13 percent are interior designers\, architects\, and Horeca representatives. Finally\, 12 percent are industry representatives. \n \nFrankfurt: a long tradition in trade fairs\nOrganized by Messe Frankfurt\, Heimtextil is in the first half of January in the halls of Messe Frankfurt in Frankfurt. Before Heimtextil\, home textiles were part of the Frankfurt Spring Fair. Between the 1960s and 1970s\, the expansion of the market segment led to an independent fair. The first edition in 1971 attracted more than 600 exhibitors from 26 countries. Since then\, the number of exhibitors has grown to 2\,658 from 62 countries\, in 2013. Heimtextil continues a very long tradition of fairs in Frankfurt; the first Frankfurt Autumn Fair was established as a regular fair as early as 1240. \nDiscover all the January design events by Designweekguide \n \nThe Frankfurt show is not just a product exhibition; it is also an information hub.

Each year\, students from design universities worldwide\, have an opportunity to present their latest and most unusual projects and have them evaluated by a panel of experts. \nDiscover all the January design events by Designweekguide \nWhy visit \nHeimtextil is one of the world’s leading trade fairs in interior design textiles. It’s the first tradeshow of the year\, and from here emerge the trends that drive the projects of designers and interior designers\, both in the residential and Horeca sectors.\nThe exhibitors\, in fact\, are not only manufacturers of upholstery fabrics and carpets but also companies specializing in technologies. Technology in fabric production plays an increasingly important role.\nSustainability requires recyclable fabrics\, and increasingly less polluting manufacturing processes. Bio-engineered fabrics can be more sustainable\, as they come from natural proteins. In addition\, bio-engineering allows for more biodegradable fabrics. \n \nHeimtextil offers a broad overview of these issues\, and all the latest technologies. In addition\, the Heimtextil University Contest allows people to see the design ability of university students participating in the Contest and gives them global visibility. \nHeimtextil\, Messe Frankfurt\, January 9-12\, 2024\nHeimtextil is for professionals only\nSize: 2\,500 exhibitors (around)\, 60.000 visitors (around)\nVisit Heimtextil website for more info URL:https://designweekguide.com/event/heimtextil-frankfurt/ LOCATION:Messe Frankfurt\, Ludwig-Erhard-Anlage 1\, Frankfurt\, 60327\, Germany CATEGORIES:Design & Furniture Trade Shows ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://designweekguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/heimtextil_frankfurt_9.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
