Thai Design Hits Germany

Meelarp Ceramic Company

During five days, from 27 to 31 August, the 2010 edition of Frankfurt Autumn Fair Tendence presented new products and trends on the themes of living and giving. The consumer goods fair is for design-oriented specialist retailers, who come to place their orders for the autumn, winter and Christmas shopping seasons. It also gives an early preview of the spring and summer products for the following year. With the two trade fairs, Giving and Living, it provides the trend platform for home and gifts.

On over 71,000 square meters of exhibition space (net) in ten halls, 2,130 exhibitors from 57 countries presented the latest products for the home, furnishing and giving in the coming autumn, winter and, in particular, busy Christmas season to an audience of 57,000 visitors from 90 countries. The top 5 nations were Switzerland, Italy, The Netherlands, Austria and France. Moreover, the number of visitors from the USA doubled and, altogether, a quarter of all visitors came from outside Germany.

Thirty three companies from Thailand were exhibiting. In this gallery of image below, find our top picks of Thai design on offer.
