\"\"This year’s Carpet Design Awards clearly reflect the DOMOTEX keynote theme UNIQUE YOUNIVERSE. DOMOTEX has always provided a platform for trends and the displays this year highlight how products and services are being customized to accommodate the needs and lifestyle of customers and the effects of this trend on the floor coverings industry. The Carpet Design Awards have been adapted accordingly with two new categories, namely “Best Interior” (high-end customized interior design projects) and “Best Communication” (successful marketing or branding campaigns), adding a new edge and topicality to the awards. Individual and original designs \u2013 created with irregularly textured knotting, variations in nap and pile, the experimental and random use of color and pattern \u2013 characterize the trend towards design customization and the competition itself.<\/p>\n

All 24 products that reached the final round of the competition can be viewed until the end of the trade show in the special display Framing Trends in Hall 9, where the focus is on innovative design and interior design trends centering on the keynote theme. Tradeshow visitors can also have their say and vote for their favorite design. The award for the public’s choice will be presented at the end of DOMOTEX.<\/p>\n

The Carpet Design Awards are staged in cooperation with the magazines HALI and COVER.<\/p>\n
