Review of Home&Tex expo: upholstery fabrics

The Home&Tex expo took place from the 28th to 31st of October in Istanbul, Turkey. Despite the fact, that the expo is generally considered to be oriented towards the Turkish interior market, we have encountered many factories there, that actively export to Europe, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and United States. Many of these manufacturers have warehouses and representational offices in Russia.

In this review, we will explore the suppliers of upholstery fabrics present at the expo.

COMPANIES AT THE HOME&TEX

Aşanteks

Aşanteks is one of the largest manufacturers of upholstery fabrics in Turkey. The company has been working in the industry for over 40 years, and exports its products to over 50 countries across the globe.

At the Home&Tex expo, the factory has introduced the following new collections:
- bright geometric ornaments and Ikats (which are very popular this year) that come on a soft textile base
- a high grade solid velour in a wide range of colors
- a water-resistant solid upholstery fabric with an unusual texture

The drawcard of the display, however, became a scented upholstery material with a lavender and chamomile aroma, which the company has designated as the centerpiece of this year’s collection and a future best-seller of the season. This product is unique to Aşanteks, and has no analogues in the world.

The factory is located in Istanbul, and maintains collections that include both, upholstery and drapery fabrics.

At the expo, Nida Tekstil has presented upholstery fabrics with delicate floristic prints, as well as a large selection of solid companions.

The Flower garden became the main theme of the drapery fabrics collection, and featured designs with birds, lavish vegetation and delicate lilacs, all of which are quite popular in the current season. We also enjoyed the very successful designs in the shabby chic style.

Pina Tekstil

Within the brand’s domestic market, the company has a reputation of a successful editor that maintains a large and developed outlet chain.

In 2015, the company has announced a close collaboration with a well-known Spanish brand Castilla.

At the expo, we were once again enchanted by the charming designs of the company’s kids collection, as well as by the lively floristic patterns offered by Pina’s partner Castilla. We also took note of the bright collection for kitchens that featured juicy lemons and cozy teakettles, but perhaps we were most impressed by the company’s new technological innovation—a very practical upholstery fabric with a textile base, which allows for removal of marker, ink, and other tough stains with a simple wipe of a damp cloth.
