Review of Home&Tex expo: curtains and voiles

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 article, we will overview the collections of curtain fabrics represented at the Home&Tex expo.

COMPANIES AT THE HOME&TEX

Perden

The factory has been in business since 1998, and today, exports its products successfully to many countries around the world. The company’s collections stand out with their complex, contemporary textures and a great balance between classical and bold design. These qualities have made Perden’s products very popular among the Russian window treatment studios.

We have first encountered Perden at Heimtextil Frankfurt 2015, where it stood out with its large selection of jacquards sporting tridimensional textures in a trending Sensory color scheme.

At Home&Tex expo, we have seen the following designs:
- several designs in the Discovery trend that featured complex textures, metallic sheen and a cracked surface effect
- jacquards with leaf patterns in a natural color scheme, composed predominately of cotton and polyester
- oriental paisley ornaments
- color combinations of copper, chocolate, vivid green and turquoise
- double-sided, soft and light drapery fabrics with high linen content, which are quite reminiscent of sleek fur
- web-like fabric with distinct Eifel tower-reminiscent patterns.
