At the beginning of February, Messe Frankfurt hosted another few days of Christmasworld, Ambiente and Creativeworld. The more than 4,600 exhibitors from over 170 countries attracted around 148,000 visitors to the three fairs; 8,000 more than in 2024. In addition to networking and placing orders, they came above all to find inspiration and discover the latest trends and innovations in consumer goods and seasonal decorations - and they were not disappointed, as there were stunning setups and beautiful new products on display. Consequently, visitor and exhibitor satisfaction was high.
The three themes of responsibility, connection and optimism defined the 2025 trends: Deep, Real and Ease, focusing on sustainability and both traditional and innovative techniques. In addition to Christmas decorations, many seasonal decorations were on display, offering retailers even more inspiration for the entire year. The Decoration Unlimited presentation - designed by 2Dezign - also provided inspiring ideas for large-scale design and was once again a visitor magnet. We also saw a large silk offering at Christmasworld, with many beautiful vases and pots, as well as innovative retail solutions. Next year Ambiente and Christmasworld will take place from February 6 to 10.
