The Indian editions of the world-renowned fairs Ambiente and Heimtextil from Frankfurt will soon return to India. In its third edition now, the third edition of Heimtextil India & Ambiente India will be held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi to showcase new collections and creative applications of textiles, home furnishings, homeware and interior décor from June 22 to 24, 2016.

Along with leading brands such as Jindal Steel, Masterkitchen, D'Décor Exports, Raymond Home, Thanor Pottery, Ceramic Home Decoratives, Welspun India, ALPS Industries and Paramount Textile Mills the exhibition will see a state pavilion from Uttar Pradesh, known for its rich heritage of textiles and crafts.

Well-known brands including Jabong, Fabfurnish, ShoppersStop, Harisons Furnishings, Home Saaz, Carrefour, Jagdish Stores, Sita Fabrics, Green Linen, were present at the exhibition last year making it a prime business hotspot. With a reputation of attracting serious retailers, trade buyers and design experts together with its well-timed pre-festive schedule, the upcoming edition is sure to become an ordering venue for winter and festive collections this season. Further consolidating its visitor focus, the fairs will host an exclusive day for buyers and purchase managers from the hospitality industry this year. The dedicated ‘Hospitality Day’ will see hospitality professionals conduct one-on-one meetings all day with exhibitors for their various hotel properties around the country.
A major highlight at the exhibition last year, the ‘Experience Zone’ in the Interior Lifestyle Awards (ILA) will once again make its way to the show. The concurrent events are sure to attract architects and interior designers on the lookout for distinctive décor concepts. Additionally, Heimtextil India will be hosting expert discussions on trends in the furnishings and textile sector – an exciting value-add for exhibitors, manufacturers and home fashion buyers visiting the fair.
Organised by Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India, the co-located fairs will provide an opportune framework for business to domestic and international brands looking to hit the Indian market with their home fashion collections of the season.
