Particularly when it comes to textiles, direct experience with all the senses is a necessity. How does a fabric behave in the light, how does it fall and what are its haptic properties? After a number of pandemic-related postponements, a one-off Summer Special was held in June 2022, but in 2023, Heimtextil will move back to its customary spot in January and, from 10 to 13 January, will once again open the Frankfurt fair year. The ‘Textiles Matter’ theme underlines the importance of textiles for the furnishing and contract furnishing sectors, and highlights the innovation spurt that has taken place in recent years. Precisely because textiles rely on a variety of raw materials in their manufacture, sustainable and future-oriented design and production methods, as well as the circular economy, are increasingly important.
