Heimtextil 2019: A Global View
There’s nothing like starting a new year with a huge download of intel and inspiration to fuel your next 12 months. Such was my trip to Heimtextil January 8 – 11th this year, as a guest of Messe Frankfurt. I was advised by industry friends, who attend each January fair, how to organize my days by halls, and that I’d need all four days to reap the full rewards of the show. Even with fair warning, I couldn’t have imagined the enormity and scope of the MESSE (fairground) — so a little jet lagged, and espresso fueled, armed with my camera and iphone, I set out to assimilate a global textile wonderland.
