Prior to "start over" to speak of carpets in general, I would still make a few bowls of Domotex 2011, whose expressions and events (which should be said), I certainly have characterized this time as a litmus test of carpet market. Nothing that the experts did not already know is clear - certainly did not need a crystal ball or a fair world for what would be the future of the oriental carpet - but a few colleagues and some fans seem evidently fallen from the "pear".
summary Domotex 2011 was marked by two main factors:
- fewer exhibitors
- a 'total lack of new ideas
Both factors were certainly not unexpected.
In countries such as Iran, Turkey, Azerbaijan, India and Pakistan has converted the growing industrialization of the textile sector workers in heavy industry and construction workers. Only in Iran (Persia) we have gone from about 10 million workers employed in the carpet of the 90 current and significant figure of just more than 2 million workers. This has provided not only a sharp drop in the number of carpet products, but also increase the cost of their implementation. Faced with this situation and the concomitant lower market demand in Western countries, many commercial entities have come to close. And 'certain that the number of commercial entities are able to resist and to continue their work in the carpet industry will fall further in coming years, therefore, be reduced by the participation of the trade fair exhibitors. If a colleague reads this negative trend, it is wrong, because the creamed off was necessary, because only with the crisis in fact, too many opportunities and / or incompetent in the field who have ruined the market, are bankrupt or have finally decided to convert their business, clearing the field for the most serious and motivated professionals.
The total absence of new ideas but also report here a positive stop to extravagant tendencies and constantly looking for new lines. The carpet design is the anti carpet by definition, the final step to anything, it promotes only the representation of itself as an object of simple features, which it can well do without it, it is stripped of all meanings primitive, anthropological, historical, economic and even cover it becoming an object of the lamp or bedside table Ikea Kartell.
Therefore, dusts off the classic lines, if anything, should be a psychological relief to the traders responsible, because practice is the finding that once the hangover ended, the good sense in the public always comes back. Who wants the good of the carpet real , the traditional one, the one born to pray, to furnish or that continuity is also only in outline designs and formats that were knotted 100 years ago, then it can only applaud the proposal of classic rugs, because it is not lack of ideas, but rather a return values.
Finally, (but this account goes beyond what has been Domotex) I want to add that if it had not happened in the past month that has happened, both in Libya in the whole Maghreb, today we talk about " ripresina. The fact people have undoubtedly begun to ask for carpets, but not minimalist, but the rich colors and designs, to the great rediscovery of the baroque floral or plant, because the escape from poverty also passes through these events, and after so much austerity, People are fed up with light line, dried or minimalist.
