The conventional home lay-out is frequently deconstructed in modern architecture; thus the open kitchen blends seamlessly with the living area as the social hub of the house. The "Outside In" exhibition takes up this architectural trend at Heimtextil 2008 during January 9 to 12, showing how inside and outside spaces of a home increasingly blend into one another.
"Out-side In" presents the walk-in ground plan of an 'urban villa' with an adjoining garden. Three cubes contain the sleeping, living and dining areas; a fourth cube is used to accommodate a bar with catering facilities. Visitors can saunter along a little boulevard in the area, short boardwalks leading them to the themed cubes. Tables and benches are set among plant containers and lawns, providing inviting places to linger and relax.
Based liberally on the slogan "Luxury bathroom meets textiles" the "Crystal Waves" showcase combines bathroom textiles with luxuri-ous details. To stage these unique materials, this special area has gone for a very straight, linear design; the dominant materials are glass, natural stone, crystal and top-quality fabrics.
The central theme is the element water. A stream of shiny Bisazza mosaics and glitter-ing Swarovski crystals flows through the space. The "Swarovski bath-room made by Kludi" and the innovative "Waterlounge" by Hoesch are some of the exclusive design elements. A Swarovski chandelier from Windfall Crystal Lighting heightens the impression of exclusivity in the special show, pebble-shaped cushions from Moroso are an in-vitation to relax.
