a look at what some of your favourite ing at January’s show.


Lano - Hall 11, Stand C49 With colour bank updates, novel qualities and a brand-new fibre development, January’s Domotex is looking to be another huge show for Lano Carpets.


With a new location due to a shake-up by the organisers, Lano’s stand will continue the high-impact visual identity established at last year’s show, making it an unmissable landmark for visitors.


Lano’s Sales & Marketing Director, Birger Karlsson, explained: “As Europe’s largest flooring fair, Domotex is a great opportunity for us to present


the latest Lano innovations to visitors from across the continent.


“This year is no different and we’re hugely excited about the new introductions, including the very special Halcyon range of solution-dyed polyester carpets.”


For visitors looking for great value stain-resistant carpet, the lifestyle Essenz collection of stain-resistant polypropylene carpets will see new colours in the classic look of Pembridge Twist and the enduringly popular Fairfield Creations.


Lano’s commercial offering is also being improved in time for the show, with the launch of a brand-new collection in Scala Twist. With its new foam impervious back, Scala Twist is perfect for healthcare, leisure and education projects with 20 practical yet home-like colours in a durable 1,250g/m2


PP twist.


Louis de Poortere Hall 9, Stand D26


Louis de Poortere will be bringing its blend of the new and the vintage to Domotex this January, as it showcases its fine rugs and broadloom carpets.


An exclusive collaboration with the Romo Group brings to the market stunning rugs inspired by the trend- setting fabric designs from two of the Group's brands, Romo and Villa Nova.


Romo is renowned for its assorted library of classic and contemporary fabrics and wallcoverings offering a diverse style and timeless elegance enriched with a sophisticated colour palette. In collaboration with Louis De Poortere, Romo has created an exquisite collection of hand tufted and flat weave rugs, featuring timeless designs in contemporary shades.


Louis de Poortere has also teamed up with Villa Nova for an eye-catching range

of flatweave and hand-tufted rugs. Villa Nova is a British brand with a philosophy of creating stylish fabrics, wallcoverings and accessories for modern living.


Drawing on its own library of archive patterns and reinventing them with a modern take, the Belgian maker will also continue to deepen its breadth of vintage designs with the introduction of Antiquarian under the Louis de Poortere brand.


The Mad Men collection, inspired by the ‘golden age’ of advertising in the 1950/60s, will see updates keeping this range ultra-relevant, particularly with the rising tide of mid-century interior style.


Alan Russell, Sales Director UK, said: “Domotex is always a key time for us.


“Representing Europe’s biggest industry event, the fair helps us to launch key developments for the forthcoming year and 2018 is no different. Through a new capsule collection with one of the fabric industry’s biggest brands and our


reinvented archive designs, the Louis de Poortere stand is certainly worth a visit for retailers looking for something different at this year’s show.”


Louis de Poortere will also exhibit its Haute Couture collection of carpets and custom runners and rugs. Featuring sublime Brussels weave styles in 100% wool, cotton/wool and cotton/ polyamide, Haute Couture is ideal for retailers looking for a premium concept in textile flooring.

The Belgian manufacturer is also expanding its Landscape Collection of artificial grass with two new additions in Easy Lawn – Anica and Valeria – and the new Pro Lawn range of six, high-end qualities for premium duties.


One of the biggest talking points is likely to be the European launch of Halcyon, the brand’s first foray into solution-dyed polyester. Offering softness and stain-resistance, Halcyon joins the latest generation of carpets offering silk-like looks in a range of sophisticated qualities.


Already a firm industry favourite, The X Collection will be expanded with three supersoft nylon styles joining Satine and new Bamboo Touch and Bamboo Velvet. The collection will also experience colour updates to Mayfair Velvet, Satine and Oasis.
