Expohogar
International Trade Show of Gift and Home Articles
26-29/January – 27-30/September
Montjuïc. 49th and 50th event
The traditional Expohogar event, specialised in gift
and home articles, reaffirmed itself once more as
a reference in the trade fair calendar in both 2013
editions. In the spring event, the show met its
expectations in terms of number of exhibitors and
professional visitors interested in buying articles
distinguished by their functionality, their quality
and their competitive prices.
The spring event exhibited a wide range of
products, featuring new styles that would be seen
on the streets months later. For instance, clutch
purses and bucket handbags in fluorescent and
neon colours were very successful, whereas,
in the domain of interior decorating, the vintage
style became the protagonist, as wells as all
shades of colour blue.
The autumn event also exceeded expectations
by summoning a large number of gift, decoration
and fashion jewellery professionals in its 50th
anniversary, and provided the space for many
business transactions directed at the Christmas
campaign, the most important one for this
sector. With an offer of thousands of articles,
the event helped in reactivating sales and
strengthening the confidence of exhibitors and
visitors, which came from all over Catalonia
and nearby areas such as Valencia, Baleares and
the south of France.
With the cooperation of the Catalan
Confederation of Ornamental Horticulture,
the Catalan School of Floral Art, Smilax School,
Rosa Valls School, the Catalonia Florists
Guild, Mercabarna and the Vilassar Flower
and Ornamental Plant Market, the show
hosted several floral and window dressing
showings. The company Celorama organised
a gift-wrapping workshop.
