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.
