Experience inspiring colour and material trends at the next Christmasworld in Frankfurt festive findings The number of registrations already received for Christmasworld 2019 shows that the new hall concept has been well received. The leading international trade fair for festive and seasonal decorations can already boast more exhibitors and more exhibition space compared to the same time last year. As well as a wealth of new exhibitors, the special show highlights will shift more into the spotlight, and therefore, the Christmasworld Trends will form the centrepiece of the Christmas and Florists’ Requisites & Garden Decoration product segments in Hall 11.0. The Trends offer inspiration for the colours and materials of the seasons, with tips for window displays and shop design curated from the bora.herke.palmisano design studio. Designer Claudia Herke from the bora.herke. palmisano design studio’s top tips for shop design based around the seasons are tender festivities, essential ceremonies, sweet traditions and luminous celebrations. Once again, there are two rather reduced and two more intensive worlds of colour. The Tender.festivities world of colour stretches from light pastels, via neutral, puristic nuances, to cool gold. In the case of Essential.ceremonies , the emphasis is on earthy, warm shades and a matcha green. Sweet.traditions whets the appetite for more colour, with shades such as gingerbread, peach, nougat, bittersweet, strawberry ice, rum raisin, coconut and evergreen. Luminous.celebrations spotlights bright, rich colours combined with elegant, dark shades.
