| Intergift-2008 In order to cater for rising demand within the market, the next edition of Intergift, which is due to take place between 17th and 22nd January at Feriade Madrid, will expand its exhibition, incorporating a new sector devoted to home textiles and textiles for the contract sector. Under the heading of EDITORES TEXTILES, a new segment has evolved that is closely linked to the decoration and interior design products that INTERGIFT already encompasses. At this new section of the fair, various leading companies within the segment and more than 70 international brands from Germany, Belgium, Canada, Scotland, Spain, the United States, France, Holland, England, India, Italy, Portugal, Sweden and South Africa will present their latest ideas and collections. This special and exclusive section located in Hall 12 will bring together a top selection of trend-setting companies within the field of textiles for the first time in Madrid. Rugs, curtains, roll-ups, upholstered furniture, painted paper, passementerie, wall coverings, tapestries, textiles, lace curtains, etc., make up a comprehensive showcase that offers some extraordinary practical and aesthetic possibilities for designers, interior architects, stylists, retailers and other prescribing parties within the field of decoration. The incorporation of this sector has been made possible thanks to a readjustment of the fair calendar at IFEMA in which the annual edition of IBERJOYA, the International Jewellery, Silverware, Watch and Related Industries Exhibition, which has been staged up until now in the month of January, coinciding with INTERGIFT and BISUTEX, has now been moved to a slot between 14th and 18th February. This decision has enabled INTERGIFT to expand its exhibition area by incorporating Halls 12 and 14, which were formerly occupied by IBERJOYA. The rest of the INTERGIFT exhibition will also benefit from this new space, which caters for the growth requirements of various sectors and will also enhance the presentation of certain product groups at the fair in line with their growing importance within the industry. This is certainly the case of ATMOSFERA (´Ambience´), which brings together cutting-edge companies within the field of integral home decoration and accessories. This section will increase its exhibition space in Halls 2, 4 and 6 through the incorporation of an area located in Hall 12, alongside the Textile Publishers section. Furthermore, DECORATIVE LIGHTING will play a more prominent role at the fair, appearing at the next edition with its own section in Hall 14. Hall 14 will also feature the section known as CAPRICHOS (´Whims´), based on a plural range of new features in handicrafts, unique items, gift items and decorative products characterised by their sense of opportunity, appeal and careful design. Halls 12 and 14 will be connected by two spacious walkways with Halls 4 and 6, which will enable visitors to identify the exhibitors and products that interest them most easily and conveniently. The INTERGIFT Exhibition will also present the latest new ideas in various other decorative fields: tableware and table decoration and kitchenware, within the section known as MESA VIVA (´Live Table´), located in Hall 8; the latest in ELEMENTOS DECORATIVOS (´Decorative Items´), in Hall 10; the latest fashion ideas for the bedroom, the table and the bathroom, etc., at SELECCIÓN TEXTIL (´Textile Selection´), located in Hall 1; gadgets, writing items, toys and stationery at FANTASÍA (´Fantasy´), located in Halls 3 and 5; suitcases, travel bags and an entire range of accessories at VIAJE (´Travel´), in Hall 5; and an entire repertoire of cutting-edge and creative ideas at REGALOS DIVERSOS (´Miscellaneous Gifts´), located in Hall 9. This extensive exhibition and the capacity of 1, 300 exhibiting companies to present a showcase packed with ideas, trends and product lines featuring the highest levels of quality, design and creativity at each edition, make INTERGIFT a leading point of reference within the consumer goods and household furnishings industry in Spain and one of the most outstanding trade events of its kind in Europe. Thus, at each of its two editions a year, this trade event attracts the attention of more than 80, 000 buyers from around the world, offering a grand forum for information and business that is quite unique. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
