FAQ TRENDS UP WEST

Vision & the New Setup 2026

It is the curated industry platform for lifestyle and interior trends in western Germany. It is an event “from the industry, for the industry.”

It was founded by Willo Blome, Florian Burghard, and Marco Hübecker. Since the end of 2025, PeopleMe GmbH, under the leadership of Kai Klemm, has been the new organizer.

That we preserve the personal character and sense of community, while positioning ourselves for the future in terms of organization and strategy.

Ordering & Planning Your Visit

TRENDS UP WEST is aimed at trade professionals and retailers from all relevant sectors. Operators of concept stores, florists and other independent specialist retailers are just as welcome as buyers from major home and interior stores. The only requirement is that you have a registered business.

  • Interior designers, architects and interior decorators
  • Designers, product developers and creatives
  • Representatives from the hotel, restaurant and hospitality industries
  • Journalists, editors and accredited content creators from the industry

Ein formaler Nachweis ist bei der Registrierung nicht zwingend erforderlich – die Angabe Ihrer Berufsbezeichnung oder Ihres Unternehmens genügt. Die TRENDS UP WEST behält sich vor, im Einzelfall eine Bestätigung der Branchenzugehörigkeit anzufragen.

Exhibitors & Brands

Click on „BRANDS“ in the main menu to be taken to the corresponding overview page. There will also be a digital version of the trade show catalogue, available under the “Exhibitor Catalogue” menu item shortly before the event. Out of consideration for the environment, there will no longer be a printed version.

You will find a mix of established top brands and innovative design newcomers.

The portfolio covers Home & Living, gift articles, stationery as well as jewellery, fashion, outdoor and sustainable design..

In the atmosphere of Areal Böhler, we deliberately avoid a rigid sorting by categories in order to create a holistic experience. But of course there is a TRENDS UP WEST floor plan available on-site.

For targeted preparation, our digital exhibitor catalogue with helpful filter functions for all product categories is available to you.
