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.

Return Warsaw Home & Contract
In response to the huge interest in the interior design industry and enthusiasts of good design, the organizers of Warsaw Home & amp; Contract are happy to announce that the fifth edition of the largest international business interior fairs in Central and Eastern Europe will take place this fall. The event is aimed at Polish and foreign producers, shop owners, architects, interior designers and individual clients, providing a convenient business platform for all participants. The impact of Ptak Warsaw Expo is growing every year – it is currently the most dynamically developing trade fair center in Europe, which connects eastern and western entrepreneurs.
This year’s Warsaw Home & amp; Contract stands out from similar international events because they are the only ones held in a standard formula. It will be the largest furniture and interior design fair in Europe in 2021. So far, nearly 500 exhibitors and about 30,000 visitors have confirmed their participation in them.
A new deadline, new forces to act
Warsaw Home & amp; Contract invariably focuses on development – the fifth edition of the fair will take place on a record exhibition space of 145 thousand square meters. sq m This year, exhibitors can also count on special packages including the purchase and construction of the stand using the innovative MDF development system. In addition, the online sales platform desho was launched, which supplements and develops the trade fair assortment, inviting also manufacturers who were not among the exhibitors to cooperate.
The current plan provides for the organization of the fair in six halls of Ptak Warsaw Expo. The event will include 5 thematic trade fairs: Warsaw Home Furniture (Selected Furniture and Selected Design), Warsaw Home Textile, Warsaw Home Light, Warsaw Home Kitchen and Warsaw Home Build for exhibitors from the construction, finishing, bathroom and installation industries.
Warsaw Home & amp; The contract also received government funding at the invitation of buyers
and representatives of commercial networks from various countries. It is a great opportunity for exhibitors
– unique on a European scale – to reach new markets with its offer and to develop more dynamically.
In the context of the pandemic, the organizers of Warsaw Home & amp; Contracts take a very serious approach to ensuring the highest possible security for all fair participants. A large exhibition area enables the preparation of appropriate infrastructure in compliance with all applicable sanitary procedures. Additional entrances and exits will be opened, the car park will be enlarged, and work on special gates is also underway.
Accompanying events
At this year’s edition of Warsaw Home & amp; Contract will also feature the Design Forum stage with your headline text featuring stars of the interior design industry from around the world. Thanks to this, the event will be traditionally enriched with a valuable substantive aspect – meetings, talks, lectures, presentations and workshops
with the participation of specialists. It is worth recalling that in 2019 the stage was performed by: Karim Rashid, Marcus Fairs (Dezeen.com), Stefan Diez, Christophe Pillet, Richard Hutten, Matteo Cibic, Luca Nichetto, Matti Klenell, Cate & amp; Nelson, Jaime Beriestain, Daniel Shavn, deFORM studio and David Trubridge.

Held under the patronage of Kasia Ptak, it will once again present the concepts of promising architects and designers who will have a chance to establish business relationships and develop their careers.
The last accompanying event will be the Poland Design Festival, the overarching goal of which is to promote Polish design – innovative brands of less and more famous designers,
as well as manufactories.
The leading business platform for interiors
In the space of Warsaw Home & amp; Contract will traditionally meet traders, distributors, architects, designers, representatives of the real estate and HoReCa industries, as well as design enthusiasts. This is in line with the already set direction for the dynamic development of the event. Since 2016, Warsaw has achieved, for example, what Berlin could not, i.e. the implementation of the largest interior design fair in Central and Eastern Europe, which is the link between the West and the East. The participants of the previous edition also know that in order to meet the bosses of the interior design industry and meet the most interesting artists, it is not necessary to go to fairs in other countries.
See you in October!
