Hannover, Germany -- Deutsche Messe has announced the theme of Domotex 2019, Create N’ Connect: New Designs for a Connected World. The theme of the show, which will run January 11-14, 2019, refers to today’s connectivity megatrend. Connectivity is affecting every aspect of how we live, work and interact. Technology and digital change are accelerating this development, and new cultural patterns and habits are manifesting themselves in new design approaches. The theme of “connectedness" also has strong symbolic and emotional aspects. With their numerous design options, floors play an important role here: They provide the very foundation for the rooms in which we live, work, and connect.
