With the Contract Guide, you have a complete overview of all exhibitors offering contract textiles and furnishing solutions.
Furoshiki
The overall design concept of the ‘Interior.Architecture.Hospitality’ expo in Hall 4.2 draws its inspiration from ‘Furoshiki’, a Japanese tradition in which a square cloth is used for wrapping or carrying items. ‘Furoshiki’ is an ancient tradition that makes use of simple cloths. The basis for the many different knotting and folding techniques is a square piece of cloth measuring 70 x 70 to 100 x 100 cm.
Traditional examples show the spectrum of uses to which these cloths can be put, e.g., as decorative gift wrapping, a practical shoulder bag, protection for a valuable item or simply a way of transporting something, whereby the square piece of cloth remains unchanged – reusable in every way and sustainable.

The latest design and functional solutions for textile contract furnishing are presented in an exclusive exhibition format especially for the contract sector.
