We attended the Trendsupwest trade fair in 2024 and 2025.
Why Trends Up West 2025 is the retail hotspot of the summer.
NEW: From June 28th to 30th, 2025, the who's who of the interior design and lifestyle industry gathered at the Böhler site in Düsseldorf. Trends Up West 2025 presented over 300 brands and creative concepts that reflect the spirit of the times in form, material, and function. Sustainable designs, modular furniture, handcrafted textiles, and new approaches to outdoor living were particularly in demand.
For trade visitors: the fair was a strong source of inspiration – with fresh brands, inspiring presentations and a high willingness to place orders.
1. The top trends of Trendsupwest
The trade fair was the perfect place to discover forward-looking collections. For brick-and-mortar retailers, this means: products with storytelling, emotion, and differentiation – beyond the mass market.
The three defining trend worlds were the main focus:
- EASE – textile lightness, bold colors and creative handwork
- REAL – sustainable materials, clear forms, honest function
- DEEP – nature-inspired colors, craftsmanship tradition and connection to the earth
2. Innovative product presentations
The exhibitors at Trendupwest outdid themselves with creative ideas and impressive displays that showcased the latest trends in a striking way. From interactive displays to new designs that will shape the future of lifestyles, the trade fair offered visitors the opportunity to experience the products up close and be inspired by their functionality and aesthetics.
3. Innovations in the field of sustainability
Visitors to the Trendsupwest trade fair this year were treated to exciting new products in the fields of sustainability and environmental protection. From innovative recycling and upcycling ideas to sustainably produced fashion collections, there was a wide variety of products to discover that combine environmental awareness with style. Exhibitors presented creative solutions to the challenges of climate change and demonstrated that sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the fashion and lifestyle industry.
4. Modular interior – where metal meets precision and elegance
We'd like to tell you a little more about one exhibition stand in particular. This one impressed us the most – the one from Modulare Interieur.
Modular Interior creates timeless, flexible, and individual designs. The furniture has already received the German Design Award Special twice and the Plus X award multiple times. It is a German manufacturer of high-quality metal shelving and table systems. The minimalist designs appear architectural, almost sculptural – yet they are highly functional.
Whether wall-mounted shelving systems or freestanding table solutions: the furniture is fully modular, built to last, and follows the principle of "less, but better." It thus exemplifies the REAL trend – clear, precise, and reduced to the essentials.
