With a new hall configuration and venue layout and a brand new keynote theme, the 30th edition of DOMOTEX is set to retain its highly-respected reputation as the world-renowned exhibition for carpets and floorcoverings.


From 12-15th January, DOMOTEX 2018


will take over the Deutsche Messe Exhibition Centre in Hannover, Germany, where visitors from across the world will descend to see hundreds of exhibitors.


DOMOTEX has built up a reputation as a key international showcase for interior furnishers and decorators, parquet installers, floor layers, joiners and painters. Over the course of many years it has served as a one-stop shop for all the products and services needed by tradespeople who work in the flooring and related sectors. From next year on, to give exhibitors and visitors in these sectors even greater value, the show will feature a revamped hall layout in which the ever-popular TREFFPUNKT HANDFWERK skilled trades event and the displays of flooring application and installation technologies are located in Hall 13. The new location will give visitors from the skilled trades everything they need in order to be even more effective at their jobs. They will be able to compare notes with their peers, try out new products and familiarise themselves with the latest flooring application and installation systems.


Hall 13 also offers professional development opportunities in the form of expert talks and lectures. And to cap it all off, the TREFFPUNKT HANDWERK showcase has a beer garden where trade professionals can relax and socialise with their peers.


Year after year, DOMOTEX serves as a prime source of inspiration on the shape of things to come, and reliably holds a mirror to and highlights the very latest floorcovering trends and innovations. True to this role, from 2018 on DOMOTEX will be annually sporting a keynote theme, the first of which will be “UNIQUE YOUNIVERSE” – a tribute to the quintessentially human quest for uniqueness and individuality now giving rise to a mega-trend of product and service customisation and personalisation.


global experts and world-renowned designers and architects – obviously – but also founders of exciting new start- ups and next-generation designers.

Virtual Reality


The theme, UNIQUE YOUNIVERSE, encompasses innovative technologies that provide ever more unique and personalised customer experiences. Virtual reality is one of these technologies.
