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. Hall 12 thus is the hotspot for top international buyers and textile design.

Mega trend healthy sleep

In addition, the latest trends, developments and products relating to sleep await visitors in the immediate vicinity in Hall 11.0. The Smart Bedding area is the central platform for innovative sleep systems, bedding and duvets, pillows, mattresses and machines for textile processing.

Heimtextil offers an extended range of fibres, yarns, woven and knitted fabrics, finishes and equipment. The suppliers and producers are positioned in the various product segments, in line with their respective areas of application.

This is where the international hospitality industry finds exactly what it needs for contract furnishing: Inspiration, information and valuable dialogue. The wide range of products and services covers the entire exhibition centre. All exhibitors with offers for the contract business are labelled online and at the trade fair stand with a special signet and can be found quickly by visitors. The Interiour.Architecture.Hospitality LIBRARY in Hall 4.0, curated by an external jury of experts, will present an exciting selection of functional textiles.

Order volumes in every size: Global Home Excellence & Global Home Select Heimtextil is Europe's largest platform for international, high-quality suppliers with order volumes of all sizes.

Knowledge transfer on two stages

Heimtextil is the right place to go for all trade visitors who want to constantly expand their knowledge of textiles.

To this end, the Texpertise Stage (Hall 4.0) addresses current topics, developments and challenges affecting the global textile industry - from flexible hospitality concepts and legislation to sustainable solutions. As a valuable source of business-boosting expertise, the Retail Stage in Hall 12.1 opens up a tailor-made content programme specifically for the retail sector. With interactive presentations, panel discussions and guided tours, Heimtextil provides space for knowledge exchange and personal contacts.

Econogy - for a more sustainable textile industry

The title Econogy includes all sustainability activities of the more than 50 textile trade fairs in Messe Frankfurt's worldwide Texpertise Network. The term links sustainability directly with economic success. Exhibitors can have themselves audited according to ESG/SDG-compliant standards and qualify for a special signet on their stand and online. The curated companies are listed in the Econogy FINDER: The tool offers visitors orientation and guides them to relevant exhibitors. In addition, interactive Econogy Talks and Tours provide knowledge transfer and innovative best practices. The Econogy Hub is a meeting point for seal providers and certifiers.

Heimtextil 2025 takes place from January 14 to 17, 2025.
