For the third time, Heimtextil will present the Theme Park trend section in 2017. Under the management of Exalis, experts from the French trend agency Carlin International will showcase 2017/2018 trends in various themed worlds during the trade fair.

The trailblazing realisation of trends will operate under the theme of Explorations, offering visitors a journey of discovery for the senses. Driven by the vision of reinvigorating our scientific curiosity, the Theme Park showcases a variety of innovative materials, textures and new patterns and invites visitors to see the rest of the event through fresh eyes.

In addition to the Theme Park installation, Heimtextil’s digital printing installation and exhibition is set to expand in 2017. With a new location in hall 6.0, leading printer manufacturers from across the world will present their innovations and technologies in the field of textiles. In addition to well-known exhibitors such as Epson, Hewlett Packard, Kiian, Mimaki, MS Printing and SPG Print, new companies such as Matsui and Schoeller Technocell will complement the line-up in 2017.
