Digital textile is growing at a tremendous rate and has also begun to make an impact on the interior décor sector, FESPA reports.

The Printeriors Print Hotel is an interactive event highlighting what printed interior décor can offer, represented in the style of a hotel. This showcase will include a number of printed textile applications, such as curtains, cushions and furniture, highlighting to visitors the diversification opportunities available with textile solutions in this sector.

“The commitment we’ve received for FESPA Textile 2016 from exhibitors is proof of how much this sector is growing. The overall combination of breadth of international exhibitors, product launches, the textile trail, seminar sessions, the Digital Textile Conference and also our Printeriors showcase means that FESPA Textile has a compelling offering for visitors interested in this rapidly evolving sector,” said Roz McGuinness, FESPA Divisional Director.
