An exclusive collection with Swarovski-Crystals and a 24-carat gold-plated cork mosaic flooring will headline the latest high-end carpeting and flooring products on display at the upcoming Domotex Middle East 2008.

The crystal and gold products will be exhibited in the ‘Designers Corner’; an initiative jointly organised by the Association of Professional Interior Designers, the American University in Dubai’s Department of Interior Design, and Deutsche Messe - organizers of the entire DOMOTEX 2008 exhibition. 

The only dedicated carpets and floor coverings exhibition in the Middle East and North Africa region, Domotex will run from May 25 to 27.

The three-day fair will showcase hand and machine-made carpets and rugs; textile floor coverings; fibres, yarns and textiles; and resilient floor coverings. Exhibitors will also display various wood and parquet flooring; laminate artificial grass and sports flooring; natural stone, marble and ceramic tiles; and laying skills, cleaning and application technology.

'Domotex continues to be a much-anticipated regional trade event, providing a solid platform for major Arab and international industry players to strengthen old partnerships and create new ones and maintain a substantial presence in the highly profitable Middle Eastern markets,' said Angela Schaschen, managing director, Deutsche Messe Dubai.

It also offers a unique venue for buyers and visitors to explore the latest products and participate in seminars and demonstrations conducted by international experts, she added.

Domotex will also feature an annual Creative Flooring session managed by floor laying professionals from the UK to demonstrate time-saving and quality-enhancing techniques as well as new products.

This year’s organisers decided to adopt hotel and office flooring themes to capitalise on the growing demand for carpeting and flooring products from various major hospitality and business construction developments in the Middle East.-TradeArabia News Service
