Germans end show venture
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, October 15, 2001
COLOGNE, Germany — KölnMesse and Messe Frankfurt mutually have decided to end their cooperation for Decovision, an international trend forum for furniture fabrics and leather.
Planned as an annual event alternately staged by the trade show organizers, the event originally set for next May 22-24 in Frankfurt has been canceled.
"We wanted to offer the sector a central market place with an international range of products," said Geert Bottger, head of Textile Fairs at Messe Frankfurt, "but we do not believe the demand is great enough to justify the annual date."
Plans continue for the Cologne Decovision event, getting a boost from Interzum, a trade fair for furniture production and wood interiors, which takes place at the same time in odd-numbered years.
