Domotechnica 2008
22 February 2008
If we were in Frankfurt two weeks ago, this week we were at DOMOTECNICA, the household appliance fair, which Koelnmesse organises in Cologne on alternate years. Yet again, we could see that there are fewer and fewer European manufacturers at this fair as they prefer AMIENTE, where greater space is being dedicated to household appliances every year.
The changes made to this year’s fair (dividing its structure into Domo-Selection, Global Sources and Domo Components, and its transformation into a debate forum on current issues), were not sufficient to recover its former splendour. The fair is currently held in only two of its eleven pavilions.

Ambiente 2008
15 February 2008
For more than a decade, we have been at the AMBIENTE international fair, which each year brings together in Frankfurt the main European and Asian household appliance manufacturers: from kitchen utensils or small electrical appliances to furniture, textiles and decoration items. And this year was no exception.
Along with the usual pavilions distributed by sectors, Messe Frankfurt, the event’s organisers, have yet again introduced new areas dedicated to trends, design awards, young designers, copies, Asia, Koziol or Guzzini monographics… which herald a brilliant future for the sector's most important fair.
As was to be expected, many of the products designed by our studio for leading brands, such as BOSCH, SAN IGNACIO, SIEMENS, SOLAC, UFESA... and for third parties and marketed by SEVERIN, SCARLETT or KENWOOD, were on display at the fair.
