At Christmasworld, international retailers will be able to experience what colours, shapes and designs will be in vogue for Christmas decorations in the future. The Trend Area offers a unique overview of the exhibitors' new products, which will be presented by Stilbüro bora.herke.palmisano in three exciting trend worlds.
The Christmasworld Trends 26+ are like a walk through an enchanted forest. Light filters softly through the treetops, colours take on a mysterious quality. Iconic elements set the tone, graphic patterns tell stories – circular materials create a vibrant, visionary mix. Three style directions reveal what truly matters.
LOCATION: Hall 4.1 Foyer
‘The three trend worlds are united by one guiding principle: be responsible and connected with nature and optimistic about the future.’
brave
What moves us? Unexpected impulses, narrative beauty, figurative motifs? In festive moments, many things can gently draw us in. Unique pieces and special designs come together in harmonious unity. Contrasting forms, techniques, and textures intertwine. Craft-based digital technologies give rise to unconventional artistic results.
Unique, lively, bold: a blend where expressive designs meet in harmony. Copper in all its shades takes the lead, forming a bridge to rich colours that craft insightful narratives. Red and violet stand alongside their softer counterparts, generating a positive tension.

light
Intuition is the strongest creative impulse. It helps us create a home filled with light, warmth, and security. In winter’s stillness, spaces open for cherished memories and bright hopes for the future. Environmentally friendly materials embody circular, forward-looking design: what we own mindfully returns to the cycle.
Light, air and a whisper: the palette reveals itself as highly resonant, liberated and radiant. Matte silver draws on the glow of moonlight, while misty pastel moods meet with charismatic harmony. Darker shades, inspired by the earth-bound natural world, step in with strength – mysterious and protective.

solid
Minimalism and poetry combine to create timeless aesthetics. Classics are revived, retro elements meet new materials. Geometry, solidity and modular solutions bring order and trust. Reduction becomes a poetic approach. Sustainable product design focuses on durability and minimal environmental impact.
Striking, determined, clear: white as a neutral, together with cool, pure-looking colours, conveys its own unique message. Vivid saturations alternate with metallic elements such as steel or aluminium. The colour character is perceived as unusual and unexpected.
