Heimtextil 2025

Our stand was designed by Łukasz Umiński, who had drawn inspiration from Maximalism, teeming with contrasts and merging elements of different interior styles. The designer combined a patterned jacquard tapestry fabric, Alberi, with drapes made from decorative fabrics in pastel shades, Hoshi and Adara. Decorated with a lavish floral motif, Alberi served as a textile wallpaper. In turn, the airy drapes made from Hoshi and Adara marked off circular meeting places and passageways. The subtle, transparent fabrics also emphasised the ephemeral nature of the stand – meant to last only for several days – and visually blurred the boundaries of the space it occupied.

“There is a lot of discussion these days about how trade shows are not environmentally friendly: they generate huge amounts of waste and almost all stands end up in the trash after the event, which is why we opted for recycling and reused a significant portion of the structural elements from last year’s stand” – says Umiński. A large amount of fabrics decorating the stand will also be reused, e.g. to produce textile samples ordered by our customers.

One of the leading motifs in the design project was the play of light filtered through several layers of the draped Hoshi fabric, suspended over the bar and in the stand’s entrance zone. The consistent repetition of colours from Alberi’s multi-coloured pattern on other, monochromatic elements and the symmetrical layout of the space endowed the entire eclectic composition with coherence and harmony. “The stand was constructed on a 10×10 m square plan. The passageways, intersecting at 90-degree angles, are reminiscent of aisles, and the fabric draperies resemble vaults of ancient temples. This created a designated, comfortable meeting place in each of the four corners” – says Umiński about the stand’s architecture.

As for the furnishings, we invariably choose Polish design and art. Among the chairs, visitors could find the icons of Polish design – RM58, designed in 1958 by Roman Modzelewski, in a refreshed upholstered version from Vzór, as well as Dumbo, a novelty from Motiv Home designed by Iza Brola. Our stand also featured the Stado pouf from Nurt, Belem hockers from Noti and Baltik from the MDD portfolio. The only international exception in this group was another icon, the Ploum sofa from Ligne Roset, refurbished by a local upholsterer for Retronauci. The sofa was upholstered with Stilla, a knitted fabric designed for oval-shaped furniture. The stand’s lighting was rendered by Chors and Flexxica lamps, as well as 3D-printed lamps made from PLA (bioplastic from corn starch derived from recycled packaging) designed by Utul Studio. By courtesy of Utul Studio and Totem Studio, the tables were adorned with colourful decorative totems.

The colour palette and eclectic style of our stand this year were complemented by the works of Nikodem Szpunar – a Polish designer and artist, who explores the motif of calligraphic gesture and experiments with various painting tools.
