The preparations for the Domotex 2019, which takes place from 11 to 14 January in Hanover, are in full swing. In September, the expert jury of the "Framing Trends" met to select the most creative ideas for the special area in Hall 9, which attracts special attention as a future-oriented highlight of the trade fair.

"Framing Trends" is divided into three modules dealing with the current theme "Create,n'Connect". For the floor with its versatile design possibilities, the trend of "networking" plays a special role. In the "Flooring Spaces" exhibitors and companies in the flooring industry can present their creative ideas based on the current theme, in order to network with visitors and to highlight them as trendsetters.

Under the name "NuThinkers", students demonstrate their innovative concepts as the megatrend of connectivity.The module "Art & Interaction" introduces installations of art and design that playfully prepare the theme and make it tangible.

The number of "Flooring Spaces" is limited, which is why a panel of experts has decided which companies will present their productions on the special theme "Create'n'Connect." The jury was again chaired by internationally renowned architect Peter Ippolito from the office Ippolito Fleitz Group from Stuttgart In addition to Ippolito, the jury again included Susanne Schmidhuber, founder and partner of Schmidhuber, Munich, and Dr. Susanne Kaufmann, researcher at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart Thomas Hundt, co-founder of the creative agency "jangled nerves" and Professor of Media + Space at the University of Applied Sciences in Stuttgart, also contributed his expertise in the field of media.

Schmidhuber has again designed a project for this year's theme "Create'n'Connect", which was selected by the jury for the Flooring Spaces. The "Connectivity Wheel" is both a visual attraction and a playful interaction. Visitors can get in the wheel, set in motion by their own steps and bring to life in an action of creation the play of light reflections of colored glass facets with surrounding Carpet Concept floor coverings. The bike combines light and material in a unique visitor experience.

The creative staging of the Framing Trends will be a highlight and industry meeting point at the Domotex 2019 and will stimulate international cooperation with exhibitors and visitors from all over the world with its lively atmosphere.
