M a is on & Obje t is only 2 wor ds : t he be s t ! September is always MoOD time in the sector and Brussels will be the venue again for original designs in textile and decoration arts. Devoted to very special and contemporary designs MoOD will open gates to many new discoveries. The organizers have already arranged a lot of events in the fields of contests, awards, discoveries, conferences, discussions, etc. Color is a hot topic this year; it certainly has not escaped MoOD. That is partly why the Discovery Zone this year is themed around color. Color is in the first stages of a revolution, as it were. Whereas the choice of color used to be a fairly intuitive process, we now see how specialists devote themselves to the emotional impact of color. Trend colors are closely monitored and tracked. Turkey is an inseparable part of MoOD because Turkish companies love developing original designs. Almost all of Turkish producers have R&D departments in their organization. Bigger companies dedicate a great deal of budget for their R&D. That's why MoOD is very meaningful for them. They develop excellent designs and launch and promote them at MoOD. Maison & Objet is also the best place for innovative products for home decoration. It is one of the most prestigious and respected fairs of Europe and the world. We will have to rush to Moscow as soon as we come home from Europe. There will be Heimtextil Russia at the end of the month. It is also one of the most important events of the year. Russian market and the markets of surrounding countries are very promising as always. Heimtextil is the best way to penetrate or expand in these markets. So, 5 magazines of our group (Home Textile Exports, Contract Textiles International, Décor, Curtain Systems & Accessories, and Sleep Well) will be on guard for promoting the sector in both, the West and the East. It always gives us big pleasure to be of service to the professional companies.
