Supporting Program makes DOMOTEX Key Event for Industry
Visitors to this year's DOMOTEX experienced a broad program of special events that were conceived in close cooperation with exhibitors, trade associations and other partner organizations. Luminescent colors, floral patterns, high-grade materials – the latest floor covering trends touched all of the senses.
Shrill, in-your-face design here, nostalgic retro-look there. From an extremely lightweight machine-knotted carpet made of genuine silk and a carpet containing energy-saving lamps to pop-art printed on laminate flooring and vacation photos as carpet patterns, the DOMOTEX supporting program offered something for everyone.
