SUMMARY:Clerkenwell Design Week in London
DESCRIPTION:Clerkenwell Design Week\, in London\, started quietly in 2009 to celebrate design in the revived district. Indeed\, since the 2000s\, many of the most established international design brands have found a home in Clerkenwell\, alongside startups and emerging brands. Thanks to the enthusiasm and tireless work of the organizers\, year after year Clerkenwell Design Week has attracted more and more of the international design community. In 2018\, the district welcomed nearly 35\,000 visitors and more than 300 exhibiting brands\, from well-known brands such as Cappellini\, Kvadrat\, and Moroso to emerging talents. \nDiscover Milan Design Week 2024 \n \nA rich design festival \nClerkenwell’s density of creative companies and architects per square kilometer makes the area one of the most important design hubs in the world. To celebrate this rich and diverse community\, Clerkenwell Design Week has created a rich schedule of events and locations. The 2024 edition\, the 13th\, which takes place May 22-23\, hosts more than 600 events. These add up to more than 160 showrooms and 300 brands\, in 12 different locations. A series of site-specific installations\, along with special projects and collaborations\, will once again adorn the streets of Clerkenwell and the various exhibition venues. \n \nDiscover Maison & Objet 2024\n \n \nClerkenwell Design Week: a platform for independent designers and brands\nCDW’s success is due to its ability to create a platform where independent British design brands can find exposure in the media and to the public. Since the first edition\, the event has allowed younger companies to present themselves alongside established players in the industry. \nThe 2024 edition of CDW offers a rich conference program\, curated by Katie Richardson. The three days of lively panels\, presentations\, and focused interviews reflect a wide range of creative concepts\, products\, and projects. The program is committed to exploring where design can make a difference in our everyday lives. Through diverse figures from the world of architecture\, design\, and beyond\, the 2024 talk series delves into sustainable practices\, retail\, color\, and materials. In addition\, the talks delve into trends in labor\, craftsmanship\, artificial intelligence\, and more. \nDiscover Surface Design Show in London \n \nWhy visit\nLondon has many souls\, and Clerkenwell is not among the most well-known tourist areas. Clerkenwell Design Week\, therefore\, is an opportunity to visit and explore the Clerkenwell Design District. The installations make it possible to see different places you would otherwise never see\, such as buildings and museums. And showroom visits also take us inside places we would otherwise never see. During the festival\, moreover\, the streets are crowded with a vibrant and effervescent audience\, and the talks are opportunities to delve into topical issues.\nThe festival is offering CDW visitors FREE access between May 21 and 23.\nVisitors must register now to get a free festival pass; all visitors need a badge to access the exhibition venues and showroom events.\nThe exhibition venues are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays\, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesdays\, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursdays.

SUMMARY:Heimtextil Frankfurt
DESCRIPTION:Heimtextil\, by Messe Frankfurt\, is the industry’s most important global event for interior textiles\, interior design\, and interior trends. 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. In each edition\, Heimtextil published a booklet and exhibition featuring emerging trends. To cater to young talent\, Heimtextil also organizes the Heimtextil University Contest. 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.

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
