In 2026, ahgz will once again offer two talks followed by a guided tour as part of heimtextil: Corinna Kretschmar-Joehnk, founder and senior-advisor of JOI-Design, will showcase the design highlights of heimtextil and introduce the latest trends in the industry with a talk.

An international overview of current hotel design demonstrates once again that hotels, our temporary homes, can be seen as a reflection of the living spaces of the future: What do we long for? What values ​​are paramount today? How can such spaces be designed successfully and sustainably? And what crucial role do floor coverings and carpets play in this? What functions must be considered? The presentation offers insights and practical tips for the future and forms the basis for the guided tour that follows.

Participation is free of charge and includes a free day ticket to heimtextil.
