Domotex 2022, the world's leading trade show for carpets and floor coverings, will feature innovative concepts like Mood Spaces, Material Selections and Wallroom. The show is scheduled for January 13-16, 2022 in Hannover, Germany. The organiser Deutsche Messe used the pandemic timeout to adapt the show to changing market conditions and develop it strategically.

The most important aspect is the so-called 2-world-concept with the division of the trade show structure into the two labels 'Carpets & Rugs' for carpets and mats (Halls 2-7) and 'Floor & Wall' for floor coverings and wall products for the parquet, carpet and resilient LVT segments (Halls 11-13). In addition, many new formats await exhibitors and visitors alike in the halls, the organiser said in a press release.

"There will be lots of new elements to discover at our next Domotex. Several discussions and roundtable talks with exhibitors, as well as visitors and our media partners have supported and accompanied us in this conceptual phase. The 'new' Domotex offers everyone involved plenty of scope for experience, orientation, innovation and inspiration, but also, of course, access to new customers, partners and suppliers," said Sonia Wedell-Castellano, global director Domotex, Deutsche Messe AG.

The upcoming Domotex will offer new formats and new places to be in all product areas. These include the new Mood Spaces, six booths designed by interior designers that represent current trends and express the interaction between floors and walls on the one hand and interior design on the other. The Spaces are a source of inspiration for furniture trade and contractors and, in the spirit of the concept store formats, show which products in combination can form a themed world. The Mood Spaces for the residential sector will be located in Hall 7 and in Hall 13 for the contract sector.

Also new on board are the Material Selections, which provide an overview of the most important application and trend topics for architects, interior designers and contractors, but also for trade and industry partners. The Material Selections for wall and floor coverings offer orientation and inspiration and, thanks to corresponding manufacturer's references, make it easier to find products at Domotex. These material collections are available for the topics of healthy living, recycling, hygiene and health, outdoor, acoustics and colour.

The product range of Domotex will be complemented by interior finishing products such as wall and acoustic panels and wallpaper. As a new hub for manufacturers with corresponding products, the Wallroom in Hall 13 offers a new and central place to be. Domotex is thus creating a new low-threshold offering for manufacturers of wall products.

The Retailers' Lounge is the new meeting place for retailers in which to enjoy the exchange among experts on equal terms. It is also a source of inspiration for retail visitors, as the lounge will be directly integrated into the Mood Spaces.

Practical knowledge, new technologies, tools and materials are what counts in the Application and Installation Technology (FloorTec) area. The new Craft Attack Guide provides a well-structured overview of offers and live demonstrations for the craft industry.

One of the highlights in this part of the show is the Workcamp Parquet - an association of internationally experienced parquet masters who are committed to the topic of promoting young talent. The Workcamp Parquet is dedicated to the reconstruction of old parquet flooring and emphasizes the use of original techniques. During Domotex the international team will be demonstrating this traditional craft in various live demos over the course of three days in Hall 12.

For years, the international Carpet Design Awards (CDA) presented by Cover and Hali Magazines, as well as the Parkett Star and Carpet Star presented by SN-Verlag, are part of Domotex. This tradition continues next year, as designers and manufacturers will be honoured with these awards.

For the first time, the CDA will also include carpet designs from non-exhibitors. This gives visitors an even broader overview of international trends and designs in the product segment of fitted carpets. In addition to and surrounding the CDA other special events will take place such as the CDA Forum or a special event for oversized carpets organised by Iranian designer Lila Valadan.
