Domotex is where the rug world comes together.

For returning visitors there will be plenty of familiar faces but also a selection of new exhibitors. These include independent British textile design studio Claire Gaudion and Spanish brand Rica Basagoiti. Other newcomers are British brand CHUF-CHUF CHUFTALO and Shahdad by Ashkiyoun, the latest brand from the Ashkiyoun Group, known for its Iranian fine carpets. Hossein Rezvani, Sahar and Rezas are among the exhibitors we look forward to meeting every year. After success in 2018, Canadian firm Creative Matters will host more Art Days to get the creative juices flowing. Sign up on the Domotex website for sessions on 11-14 January.

Organised by COVER and HALI in partnership with Domotex, the awards celebrate original design and excellence in craft.

The new look presentation on Saturday will see German TV presenter and journalist Annika De Buhr joining COVER and HALI Editors on stage to hand out the winner’s awards.

COVER Talks

On Saturday 12 January at 12pm in Hall 9, Editor of COVER Lucy Upward will be delivering a talk on the subject of ‘Future thinking: Trends in rugs and interiors’. The leitmotif for Domotex Hannover 2019 is Create’n’Connect, playing on the concept of connectivity in all its forms. This theme will be apparent throughout the Framing Trends showcase in Hall 9, and also in the daily talks featuring prominent designers and architects like Katrin Greiling and Sebastian Herkner, who was interviewed in the latest issue of COVER. For her talk, Lucy Upward looks at the motivating factors behind global trends to understand where rug design might be heading. Don’t miss hearing about the latest rug trends on Saturday 12 January, 12pm.
