High-performance textiles, material innovations and functionalities

Every year, Heimtextil in Frankfurt am Main marks the start of the new interior design season. Packed with the most important trend forecasts for the coming twelve months – and beyond – it is the leading international platform for home and contract textiles and textile design. In January, interior designers, architects and hospitality experts will find a range of products in Frankfurt that are specially tailored to their needs.

Architonic LIVE TALKS

Planners can look forward to a comprehensive range of products and information, as well as programme items tailored specifically to their needs. These include the Architonic Live Talks on the Texpertise Stage in Hall 6.0: first up is architect and designer Patricia Urquiola; Tim Fu will also be available to answer questions. The architectural designer, AI visionary and founder of Studio Tim Fu focuses intensively on the connection between human and machine creativity in his work. He will be on site to provide an insight into his creative process.

By experts for experts: TALKS & TOURS

Talks & Tours will once again be among the most popular offerings in 2026. Interested parties are invited to engage in conversation with experts and accompany them to their individual trade fair highlights. Among those taking part will be Mauro Brigham (NCBHAM) and Corinna Kretschmar-Joehnk (JOI-Design).

Interior.Architecture.Hospitality LIBRARY

Heimtextil is offering further tours with the jury of the Interior.Architecture.Hospitality LIBRARY. The material library presents a curated selection of pioneering contract textiles, which is not only accessible during the trade fair in Hall 3.1, but also online at any time as a working tool. In January, the jury is focusing on flame-retardant, sound-absorbing, lightfast, antimicrobial, water-repellent, stain-resistant and hard-wearing textiles.

All information about exhibitors with offerings for the contract business can be accessed online in advance via the Interior.Architecture.Hospitality FINDER. The exhibition stands of contract exhibitors are marked accordingly in the halls.

For professionals, Heimtextil's Interior.Architecture.Hospitality offering provides clarity and networking opportunities. Here, material knowledge is translated into spatial possibilities – and here, the future of contract textiles can be seen, touched and discussed.
