Details about the participating exhibitors will follow shortly.
Gentle Elegance
The minimalist, natural design creates structure without coldness. Ideal for those seeking retreat, grounding, and visual calm. The bright, airy look provides a sense of emotional openness – the room feels free and uplifting. Light colours such as white, cream, ivory, eggshell or sand gently reflect the light, visually enlarging the room and evoke a peaceful, almost meditative atmosphere and spaciousness that radiates airiness and mindfulness.
The materials tell a story of naturalness and conscious luxury: linen, bouclé and coarse cotton brings a pleasant feel – without any heaviness. Untreated wood, lime plaster, raw ceramics or stone surfaces provide warmth and grounding. Open structures and handcrafted details give the room character. No room feels overcrowded; every object is allowed to breathe. Round, organic shapes convey protection and closeness. The space almost seems to “embrace” you. The result: A stylishly minimalist home that unites cosiness, mindfulness, and conscious minimalism. Perfect for anyone longing for tranquillity and naturalness.
Positive Vibes
This trend brings summery joie de vivre into the home with vibrant colours, airy materials and relaxed styling. Summer 2026 is all about reconnecting with ourselves, with nature and with what really matters. In a world shaped by speed, technology and overstimulation, there is a need for vitality, light-heartedness and the longing for sun, nature and energy. It is about letting go rather than optimising, about enjoying the small moments.
Inspiration from nature plays a central role in the colour trends of 2026. With the growing trend towards biophilia,– the longing to bring nature into the home – it is not surprising that shades of green and blue in all their nuances take centre stage. They symbolise the spirit of change, renewal and sustainability. They are combined with a warm amber tone, which adds a dreamy depth with its lively, luminous radiance. Materials that connect us with nature will continue to play a part. Stone, clay and transparent organic fabrics tell stories of origin and craftsmanship. Patterns feature floral or abstract motifs, often inspired by nature or travel. It will be the summer of the senses and of conscious living.
