Transitions for Domotex

For DOMOTEX 2017, Nur was asked to join a group of creative thinkers from five countries, brought together by designer Stefan Diez workshop in his Munich studio. As part of the DOMOTEX venture “Young Designer Trendtable,” A multinational lineup of designers, comprising of Turkish-born Bilge Nur Saltik, Jane Briggs and Christy Cole (Scotland), Klaas Kuiken (Netherlands), Hanne Willmann (Germany) and Victoria Wilmotte (France) were tasked with developing trendsetting flooring concepts and designs. These concepts took the trade by storm when they were showcased at DOMOTEX 2017.

Rather than products, the output here were installations from the five designers, intended to trigger conversation, set trends for the industry and draw in the massive audience of architects and designers at the fair.

For DOMOTEX, Nur’s work intended to break away from the grid (of carpet tiling), so to speak, and to investigate and experiment with ‘joinery’ between flooring elements. Despite this project operating in an entirely new industry, Nur’s work was sure to get to the heart of the brief and impact yet another new realm of design.
