Hábitat Valencia 2024

A "made in Spain" hotel, Mediterranean-inspired textiles, and futuristic kitchens are among the key innovations at the Spanish fair, taking place from September 30 to October 3

Feria Valencia hosts Hábitat, a major annual event dedicated to the world of interior design, textiles, and kitchens. The event covers an area of 96,000 square meters and welcomes 925 exhibitors, 20% of whom come from 16 different countries. This year’s standout innovations include a hotel furnished entirely with “made in Spain” products, a cutting-edge textile space inspired by the Mediterranean, and an innovative perspective on the kitchens of the future. Feria Hábitat València, one of the event’s pillars, continues to grow, with a 4% increase in exhibitors compared to the previous year and nearly 9% compared to 2022. This year, 384 direct exhibitors and 655 represented companies fill the spaces. The event also includes a hall dedicated to high-end interior design, with Italian companies leading the way.

Hábitat also offers a space dedicated to the hotel sector, supported by the Instituto Tecnológico Hotelero for a series of exclusive conferences. An innovative installation called “Hotel Hábitat,” designed by architect Héctor Ruiz-Velázquez, recreates authentic hotel design over an area of 800 m², using the best products from Spain’s interior industry. The Salón nude, a platform for emerging design, features designers from France, Argentina, and Spain. Additionally, the ‘Ágora nude’ conferences host renowned designers like Inma Bermúdez and Ramón Esteve.

Textilhogar Home Textiles Premium represents another crucial segment. This year, it presents 61 direct exhibitors and 183 represented companies, with a strong international presence from France, the Netherlands, and Portugal. Sigfrido Serra, designer of the year, has created a spectacular textile installation called ”Orange Forest” in collaboration with Interiores magazine.

Espacio Cocina SICI, Spain’s only trade fair dedicated exclusively to kitchen furniture and equipment, returns alongside Feria Hábitat València and Textilhogar. With 65 direct exhibitors and 87 represented companies, this year it offers an even richer experience, with spaces like the AMC Kitchen LAB and a range of live events, from cooking demonstrations to technical sessions on the marble industry.

In addition to these three main fairs, from October 1 to 3, Feria Valencia also hosts Iberflora and Eurobrico, events that share synergies in landscaping, home, and sustainability.
