Global Shoes
Forming a communication focus for exhibitors and visitors is the
centrally located Lounge featuring inspiring trend elements. An
alternating area for various activities will also be set up revolving
around the topic of skilled craftsmanship and quality. A separate
reception in the central entrance concourse will receive and
welcome trade buyers. Unlike White Cubes, however, this area will
be freely accessible. A new stand construction system makes for an
even more sophisticated look that stages high-quality collections to
great effect. It is functional, sleek and yet unusual. Different
levels provide transparency here: around the Lounge are flat,
open stands, while a border around the area is formed by higher
stands. Materials are selected in line with the principle of
sustainability. Lightness, warmth and originality characterise the
atmosphere of this zone that places honest products in the
foreground.
