Traditionally, Tendence is the biggest and most important order and trend platform in the second half of the year and is split into two main parts, Giving und Living. While Giving reflects the whole world of creative gift ideas, Living is the platform for the home, decorating and furnishing. From 26 to 30 August 2011, Tendence presents the latest trends for the coming autumn / winter season and offers a preview of new products for the spring and summer season of the following year.

Ambiente is the leading international trade fair for products for the table, kitchen, household, giving and decorating segments, as well as for home and furnishing accessories. For five days at the be­ginning of the business year, over 4, 300 exhibitors show what consumers will be able to see in shops around the world in 2012. However, Ambiente is a must not only for a unique range of products that is unparalleled in terms of depth and breadth anywhere in the world but also because, as the world's leading consumer-goods fair, it is distinguished by a multitude of events, trend presentations and awards ceremonies.
