Experience colour trends – make inspiration visible!

Secure a free secondary placement in the Trend Zone at h+h 2026 now

The Trend Zone at h+h cologne 2026 is dedicated entirely to the Pantone colour ‘Cloud Dancer’ – a soft, soothing off-white that stands for clarity, new beginnings and creative calm in the 2026 design year.

Position yourself as a trend-conscious exhibitor and showcase your products where trade visitors are specifically looking for inspiration. In the Trend Zone, your materials are not only presented, but experienced: visitors can touch, discover and, in some cases, take them away with them – and thus carry concrete ideas for collections, material use and creative projects directly from the trade fair into their business.

A selection of the products submitted – ideally in the Cloud Dancer colour spectrum – will be professionally staged after review. Prerequisite: the submission of a raw product (e.g. yarns, wool, fabrics). Finished handicraft products are optional and also welcome. If you would like visitors to take samples with them, please provide sufficient material for all three days of the trade fair.

Become part of Trend Zone 2026 and showcase your products in the inspiring context of Pantone's Colour of the Year, “Cloud Dancer”!

Registration deadline: 15 February 2026
Product submission deadline: 20 February 2026
Selection and staging: carried out by the h+h cologne trade fair team
