The collaboration
“I think design nowadays is a very democratic product, so therefore it is very good to have this discussion in front of a big audience. I think that’s the beauty of America ByDesign.” With these words, Detlef Braun, a Member of Messe Frankfurt’s Executive Board, summed up the importance of this special collaboration.
Ambiente is one of the biggest consumer-good trade fairs, an event where new products and concepts get introduced to the public. Manufacturers, dealers, buyers, industry experts, and enthusiasts know they can find inspiration, ideas, and projects at the trade fair.
