The largest design fair in Europe - Warsaw Home - it's a wrap!
The largest design fair in Europe - Warsaw Home - it's a wrap!
No other trade fair event in this industry develops as intensively and uses time for designer meetings as effectively. The sixth edition was visited by nearly 50,000 guests, most of them industry representatives!
The number of exhibitors was also record-breaking – in all 5 exhibition halls we could see the offers of over 600 exhibitors!
Together, this gives an area of 125,000 square meters – more than 14 football fields!
The star of this year’s Warsaw Home was Karim Rashid – one of the most creative designers of his generation. He has over 4,000 projects in his portfolio, for which he has won over 300 industry awards. His works can be found in over 40 countries.
Karim gave an inspiring lecture: the main idea of which was that each of us is unique, can give the world unique beauty and extraordinary design – if you dare to do so. An important aspect of Karim’s projects in recent years is also the idea of “6xR” – Refuse, reduce, repair, reuse, recycle, revolutionize”. The artist also recalled the fruitful cooperation with exhibitors who were also present at the Warsaw Home fair.
During this year’s Warsaw Home fair, archiDAY workshops were held on an area of almost 2400 m2 in hall E. This year, the organizers focused on the practical aspects of the work of an architect and designer, offering listeners free workshops on the four most commonly used design software in the industry. In professionally prepared rooms, architects and designers had the opportunity to improve their skills with programs such as SketchUp + V-Ray, CAD Decor PRO, Archicad, Twinmotion and pCon.Planner. Over 1,200 professionals registered for the workshops. The workshop was accompanied by a sensory exhibition presenting the most interesting works resulting from the Paradyż Designers 2021 competition prepared by the patron of this year’s archiDAY – Paradyż Academy.
Studio Zięta, known in the industry, prepared the GENERATIONS exhibition.
It is a narrative about the utility potential of generative design. A juxtaposition of functional objects with the exploration of their material possibilities. The main area of Oskar Zięta’s search is steel, but his original FiDU technology is also used in the case of other metals, such as aluminum or copper.
The works presented at Warsaw Home are the result of many years of studies on the properties of metal and the use of new technologies in design. These sensual objects-sculptures are present at the Pompidou Center in Paris or Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich and awarded with world-renowned awards such as the Red Dot Award, Product Design 2021 or the MATERIALICA Design + Technology Award.
Unique objects are ready to be implemented in public or private space.
Another important substantive element of the Expo was the Bathroom Summit conference.
What will the future of our bathrooms look like? What creates it? What changes in technology and design will we have to make to adapt to the changes to come. The answers to these elementary questions were heard during a three-day conference organized by Vinderen as part of the Warsaw Home & Contract fair in October at Ptak Warsaw Expo 2022.
Bathroom Summit is not only an idea of a “bathroom in three days”. A number of experts in the field of architecture, design and interior finishing were invited to cooperate. As a result, the recipients received a huge dose of knowledge in various fields. Lectures on marketing and business in the bathroom industry, trends and good practices of the designer, knowledge in the field of interior finishing and technology are just a few examples of numerous topics that were discussed during the conference.
Important aspects were also ecology and the economic situation in the world. The organizers entered into a dialogue with the audience, together emphasizing and analyzing their direct impact on the bathroom industry.
Thanks to the use of virtual reality, the Bathroom Summit Gallery stand was created – a space treated as an interactive product catalog, created with the use of AR technology, using elements of the real world and a virtual presentation of real products. Based on the real dimensions of the rooms, precise three-dimensional visualizations of bathrooms were created.
Many exhibitors drew attention to the increased number of exhibitors and visitors from Europe and the world. The Warsaw Home fair was a platform for Turkish, Malaysian, Lithuanian, Uzbek and Ukrainian national exhibitors, giving the opportunity to meet potential clients and contractors from the Central and Eastern region of the European Union.
An infinite number of reports on social media confirms that the Warsaw Home fair is a feast for the eyes and an endless amount of visual impressions for visitors.
Many guests stopped by the exceptionally beautiful exhibitions of Ciarko Design, Wersal, Olta, Befame and Kler.
Next year’s edition of Warsaw Home is planned for November 7-10, 2023.
In spring, we also invite you to the Warsaw Home Gift & Deco Fair, which will take place on March 23-25.

Well everywhere but at home is best.
Well everywhere but at home is best.
All good things come to an end. Over the last few months, we have been working intensively on finishing this year’s edition with the last button. It’s behind us, so let’s take a deep breath and look for a moment on the past celebration of the interior design industry.
The Warsaw Home & amp; Contract fair is the main point of the program for us, the apple of our eye. The most important item on our calendar.
The fifth edition of the interior design fair is behind us. Four days, four halls and four zones where this year’s visitors were looking for something for themselves. Customers came here to find business partners, find the perfect offer for themselves and their activities, feel the breath of fresh air, or simply admire the applied art gathered here and have a good time. What unites us is the desire to create a space to which we simply want to come back and feel good in it.
During this year’s edition of the Warsaw Home & amp; Contract fair at PTAK Warsaw Expo, visitors could visit four zones, which helped to focus on the category of the interior industry that the visitor was interested in. Exhibitors, on the other hand, were sure that their customers were exactly where they want to be and can choose from offers that interest them.
Zones:
Light & amp; Textile – Here you could find unique lighting, innovative solutions for smart home, office and even outdoor areas, as well as unique, functional upholstery, decorative fabrics or carpets, rich in beautiful patterns and the highest quality materials.
Build – They were directed both to manufacturers from the finishing, construction and architectural industries, as well as individual clients looking for new solutions in interior design.
Furniture – has been divided into Selected Furniture and Selected Design. As part of Selected Furniture, international furniture manufacturers for private and office spaces as well as for the HoReCa industry were presented. Selected Design, on the other hand, was a platform for selected, internationally recognized contract brands. Producers of the highest quality furniture and premium accessories for commercial and private spaces.
Kitchen – This is a zone for people looking for ideas for a beautiful and practical kitchen. Here you could find innovative systems, furniture and accessories as well as aesthetic, intelligent household appliances.
This year’s edition of the Warsaw Home & amp; Contract fair turned out to be a great success, many exhibitors left the halls with signed contracts after the fair ended, and the visitors successfully renewed their business contacts. We are glad that you came out inspired and, above all, richer in partners for common interests.
See you next year!
Knowledge necessary for action – Design Forum
Knowledge necessary for action – Design Forum
Eight different categories
The Design Forum featured eight categories, joined by a common theme changing each day. The first day focused on the notion of awareness (“I’m conscious”), the second concerned the issue of responsibility (“I’m responsible”) and the third one regarded the concept of well-being (“I’m well”). The way these slogans are interpreted within fields such as interior design, design and art, sustainability or trend analysis, constituted the substance of talks given by experts and world famous designers. The fair’s visitors had the unique opportunity to attend the lectures of many fascinating people.
Exceptional guests
Jaime Beriestain from Chile and Spain, Robert Majkut from Poland as well as Nelson Ruiz-Acal i Cate Högdah – a designer duo of Spanish and Swedish origin, all spoke on the topic of interior design. The question of what global perspective means for a designer was addressed by Marcus Fairs (Great Britain), founder and editor-in-chief of the Dezeen.com magazine, as well as designers Christophe Pillet (France) and Stefan Diez (Germany). The issue of conscious action was the subject of lectures delivered by Richarda Hutten (the Netherlands), Luca Nichetto (Italy) and David Trubridge (Great Britain).
Needless to say, such colorful characters as Karim Rashid (USA), Matteo Cibic (Italy), Matti Klenell (Sweden) and Daniel Svahn (Sweden) did not disappoint. For not only do they design exceptionally well but are also excellent speakers. Karim Rashid gave a talk about, among other things, why the designing process should always be innovative. Matteo Cibic, in turn, emphasized the importance of entertainment within design, reminding that along with sustainability the world needs a touch of magic.
Intense discussions
Besides these fascinating performances by the greats of design, during the Design Forum one could listen to engaging panel discussions which included but were not limited to ecodesign and boutique design. On this very stage the winner of SAW Interior of the Year competition was determined.
It was impossible to simply walk past the F hall, where the conference took place. Time and time again somebody (without any prior plans to attend the lectures) joined and stayed in the Design Forum audience captivated by the positive energy and emotional messages coming from the speakers. And that’s what it’s all about! Warsaw Home 2019 has proven that it was possible to create an event that would be remembered by many – not only for its intriguing exhibitors and stunning stands but also for the accompanying events representing the highest level of content.
