New talents and new creations in Brussels

Major event of textile design and creation, Indigo is organized by PVE S.A., the company which manages Première Vision – the world’s premier fabric show – and Expofil – the international fair for textile yarns and fibres. Its Home edition, held once a year in September in Brussels next to Decosit, is specifically devoted to textile creations for furnishings and interior decoration.

Top international studios, new talents, artists and design schools present an offer geared to all markets and sectors. It aims at helping operators to prepare and re-invent their collections for prints, jacquards, bed linen, table linen, wall and floor covering, gift wrap, cards.

Regarding exhibitors, the forthcoming edition (9 to 12 September) should be quite satisfactory as the level of registration as at 8th May is rather high compared to September 2005, with all the leading design studios present. 9 new exhibitors from 5 countries have already registered, among them for the first time a Hungarian company. All of them will show targeted collections with designs to be used in areas as varied as table linen, tiled floor, curtain fabrics or wall paper. This high level of newcomers confirms the dynamism of the show. Their arrival broaden and enrich the spectrum of the offer for visitors who are looking not for basics but for more complex, creative designs that call for a highly technical approach.

Indigo will remain in its usual location in Hall 12 of Brussels Expo but will share it for the first time with all Decosit trend areas and services. This new environment should bring about a trendy space dedicated to creation and services. This general lay-out should make easier the visitors’ research for new ideas, concepts and trends.

For this forthcoming edition, Indigo unveils a new visual, used in its various communication and marketing tools emphasizing the importance of design and colourings. The advertising campaign has been extended to new specialized media, thus covering a larger yet more targeted audience in a greater number of countries. At the exhibition: with a new sober-look, practical stand, the Brussels edition will offer a new ambience more appropriate to the diversity of presentation methods used by exhibitors for their collections.

This is the second Home edition under the aegis of PVE S.A., last session attracted 3,021 international visitors which was remarkably steady compared with a quite difficult economic situation in the furnishing sector. With its Home edition in Brussels and its two Fashion editions in Paris, Indigo is the leading event in the field of creative textile design.
