Heimtextil’s Trends category provides a globally unique trend forecast into popular design topics. Trends 24/25 will focus on textile transformation under the theme "New Sensitivity.” It emphasizes three approaches to show ways to progress to a more sensitive world of textiles: the plant-based production of textiles, the support of textile cycles by technology, and the bioengineered use of natural ingredients. Additionally, the category Future Materials focuses on curating regenerative materials and designs. Regenerative design is dedicated to developing holistic creative practices that restore or renew resources, having a positive impact on the environment, and encouraging communities to thrive. For Heimtextil 2024, design futures consultancy, FranklinTill, is curating a global showcase of cutting-edge textiles and materials to illustrate the principles of regenerative design and recognize pioneering designers, producers and manufacturers who are at the forefront.
