From January 14 to 17, 2025, already 2,900 exhibitors from 60 countries will present current trends, the latest collections, innovative materials, and textile solutions at Heimtextil. High-caliber highlights await visitors: For the first time, the Milan-based design platform Alcova will curate the Heimtextil Trends 25/26. 'This makes textile interior design more visible than ever before,' says Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles & Textile Technologies.
Back to the future: the Heimtextil trends 25/26
They are the most important source of inspiration and the must-see of the trade fair: the Heimtextil Trends 25/26. At the upcoming event, the design platform Alcova from Milan will curate the Trend Arena in Hall 3.0 for the first time. Under the motto 'Future Continuous', they will put textiles in a different light and combine past trends with forward-looking influences—unusual, original, innovative. The platform for independent design rethinks the past and uses it as inspiration for the future. The Heimtextil Trends 25/26 provide an overview of sustainable, visionary, and progressive developments, serving as a decisive signpost for the industry and retail to keep their finger on the pulse of the times and strengthen their business success.

Design hotspot with Patricia Urquiola
Textile design redefined: Patricia Urquiola, the renowned designer and architect from Milan, creates a sustainable textile design experience for Heimtextil 2025. The installation 'among-us' will combine interior design with hospitality, placing people and the immersive experience at the center of attention. 'among-us' is embedded in the high-quality presentations of Bed, Bath & Living in Hall 12.0. Here, as well as in Hall 12.1, well-known brands and private label suppliers will showcase exclusive bed linen, bathroom textiles, decorative cushions, bedspreads, and home accessories. Exhibitors such as Beddinghouse (Netherlands), Lameirinho (Portugal), Marzotto Lab (Italy), Veritas (Turkey), Hellatex Textil (Austria), and Klaus Herding (Germany), along with returnees such as Hermann Biederlack (Germany) and Formesse (Germany), will be present. Hall 12 thus becomes the hotspot for top international buyers and textile design.
Mega trend: Healthy sleep
In addition, the latest trends, developments, and products relating to sleep await visitors in Hall 11.0.

Big names such as Interima (UK), Georg & Otto Friedrich (Germany), Korteks (Turkey), Sasa Polyester (Turkey), and Trevira (Indorama Ventures Fibers Germany) will be present.

Knowledge transfer on two stages
Heimtextil is the right place for all trade visitors who want to expand their knowledge of textiles. As a networking and knowledge platform, it helps companies develop further and prepare for the future. To this end, the Texpertise Stage (Hall 4.0) addresses current topics, developments, and challenges affecting the global textile industry—from flexible hospitality concepts and legislation to sustainable solutions. As a valuable source of business-boosting expertise, the Retail Stage in Hall 12.0 opens up a tailor-made content program specifically for the retail sector. With interactive presentations, panel discussions, and guided tours, Heimtextil provides space for knowledge exchange and personal contacts.
Heimtextil 2025 takes place from January 14 to 17, 2025. The world-renowned designer and architect Patricia Urquiola brings textile design to life in the exclusive installation 'among-us'. The DecoTeam and the adjacent Design Lounge provide attractive offers and top brands for interior design. Carpets & Rugs, the home of the international carpet industry, grows by further hall levels. With its strong range and new formats, Heimtextil is once again proving itself to be a constant and reliable partner for the global textile industry.
