Heimtextil is partnering with Downtown Design for the first time to present its Trends 27/28 in Dubai from 4 to 8 November, developed with Milan-based design platform Alcova. The [B2B Marketplace](https://www.fibre2fashion.com/news/textile-news/heimtextil-debuts-at-downtown-design-dubai-with-alcova-trends-27-28-314835-newsdetails.htm) reported the collaboration ahead of the fair, which runs as part of Dubai Design Week.

## Heimtextil's First Downtown Design Presentation

The presentation, titled 'The Performance of Everyday Living', uses film, text and visual elements to give the international and regional design community insights into the key trend themes. Heimtextil said the trends explore how spaces can do more without asking more of us, a question it frames as relevant to residential interiors, hospitality and interior design alike.

Mette Degn-Christensen, Director of [Downtown Design](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/004ajvi/downtown-design), said: "Downtown Design stands for connectivity, relevance and quality: it is where the Middle East's creative community comes together with the global design industry." She added that Heimtextil and [Alcova](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00hjuuw/alcova) bring complementary strengths in materials and craft-led experimentation.

Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles & Textile Technologies at Messe Frankfurt, said: "The Middle East is an important source of inspiration and momentum for interior design and hospitality." He said the cooperation with Alcova takes Heimtextil's themes beyond Frankfurt and connects them with partners in the Middle East.

Heimtextil described the region's growing hospitality and design landscape as increasingly influential in the international interiors industry, with a rising number of hotel and design projects driving demand for spatial concepts, materials and textile solutions. The fair is the anchor event of Dubai Design Week.

## Downtown Design's Dubai and Riyadh Fairs
