International textiles trade fair: Heimtextil (14 - 17 January 2025 in Frankfurt, Germany) to feature key trends for 2025/26

Heimtextil, the international trade fair focused on home and contract textiles, will be held from 14 to 17 January 2025 at Messe Frankfurt, located at Ludwig-Erhard-Anlage 1, 60327 Frankfurt, Germany.

This event will gather global brands to showcase emerging trends in fabrics and textiles, while spotlighting innovations in sustainability across the industry. Attendees can explore a broad range of products, including bedding, rugs, curtains, fibres, yarns, and upholstery fabrics.

For the 2025/26 season, Heimtextil introduces three key themes under the title "Future Continuous", curated by the trend forecast agency Alcova Milano:  

Naturally Uneven: Celebrating the raw beauty of natural materials like linen, hemp, jute, wool, and nettle through handcrafted processes.

Radically Restructured: Highlighting innovative and recycled fibres designed for superior industrial processing with a minimal ecological footprint.

Regenerative: Embracing circulation and regeneration with bio-based, upcycled, or recycled materials, including fibres from hemp to wool.
