Hannover, Germany --The finalists in the 2018 Carpet Design Awards have been selected and 24 designer carpets have made it to the final round of the international competition for carpet design. A jury made up of experts from the design and carpet industry have selected three carpets in each of the eight categories from a total of 265 entries from 16 countries. The winners in each category will be announced at Domotex prize award ceremony in Hall 9 on January 13, 2018.
The keynote theme for Domotex 2018 is Unique Youniverse, which was chosen in response to the growing need to offer the customer personalized products and services. The Carpet Design Awards have also been refreshed this year to reflect this trend, with two new categories added: “Best Interior” (furnishing project or carpet installation that prioritizes personalization) and “Best Communication” (successful marketing or branding campaign). The eight categories in the competition reflect various manufacturing methods, price levels, and design concepts, so that they also represent different retail concepts and market segments targeted by the carpet industry.
