Tendence 2020 looks for young creative designers by March 19 for its Talents programme

It’s one thing designing creative and contemporary products – but it’s another to present them at a large trade fair. The promotional programme Talents is Messe Frankfurt’s way of supporting creative designers and young studios in design, artisan crafts, jewellery and fashion accessories as they take their first steps onto an international platform. The next opportunity to take part will be in the summer, at Tendence (27 to 30 June 2020). Applications can be sent in any time between now and 19 March 2020.

The curated promotional programme Talents is aimed at students, young design studios, craftworkers and goldsmiths with or without trade fair experience. “It’s very much on our hearts to offer a real chance to promising newcomers. This is why our Talents programme supports not only very young applicants such as university graduates, but also more experienced participants who have had some initial success in their niche and are now wanting to go one step further,” says Philipp Ferger, Tendence Group Show Director.

Talents will be an integral part of Lifestyle Design in the Style City (Hall 12.0) at Tendence 2020. Running under the heading Modern Crafts & Jewellery, Talents will be ideally placed next to another crowd puller: the exhibition of the prestigious design competition Form.

Participants in the promotional programme in Frankfurt receive a free space in the Talents area, PR work and hands-on support from the experienced trade fair team. “We deliberately invest in the coming generation, as they enliven both our industry and our trade fair. Both sides have been benefiting from this for nearly 20 years now,” says Philipp Ferger. In summer 2019 he welcomed 25 Talents who created links between the crafts sector, industry and lifestyle. Tendence is purely a specialists’ trade fair. As the new-products platform for the second half of the year, it showcases the latest trends and products in furnishings, home accessories, gifts, jewellery, fashion accessories and leisure for the coming winter and Christmas season. It also provides a preview of the first spring and summer collections.
