42 kilometres – this was the distance – which almost qualifies as a marathon route – the visitors had to walk in order to make a complete tour around the exhibition grounds and see all the special exhibitions and events. The Heimtextil 2008’s size is only one aspect which helps to capture its dimension and relevance for the industry. Four days of trends, textiles, prognoses, and presentations on colours draw to an end. We hope our blog has yieled a valuable insight into the Heimtextil and the future trends presented there.
