FRANKFURT, Germany–Ambiente opened here today with more than 4,500 exhibitors from 93 countries showing their latest offerings at what organizers Messe Frankfurt call “the world’s biggest consumer-goods fair.”
Some American attendees may have been delayed getting to the show, as numerous flights were disrupted by winter storms on the East Coast earlier this week.
Key trends expected at the market are simplicity in design, a back-to-nature approach and an emphasis on hearth and home.
Ambiente runs through Tuesday, Feb. 16.
