Craftsmanship meets design: furniture, doors, and surfaces with character

Solid wood is experiencing a renaissance—not only as a material, but also as a design statement. At Heim+Handwerk, companies such as Haberl and Makonde demonstrate how precision craftsmanship and modern interior design go hand in hand. Whether hybrid doors with natural surfaces or unique pieces of furniture made from fine woods: individuality and quality are the focus.

  • Solid wood furniture with handmade details
  • Hybrid doors made of oak with brushed or oiled surfaces
  • Unique designs made from sustainable types of wood
Another highlight comes from exhibitors such as KreativBaum, who transform raw tree trunks into home accessories – each piece tells its own story.

Energy, fire, and function: modern stove technology for living spaces

Heating with wood is experiencing a revival thanks to new technologies. Manufacturers such as Hark are demonstrating how log wood and pellets can be combined in hybrid stoves – supplemented by digital controls and patented filter systems such as FlameKat. The result: high efficiency, clean combustion, and visually appealing fireplaces.

  • Combination of log and pellet operation
  • FlameKat technology for reduced emissions
  • Baking compartments for additional functionality
Such stoves combine craftsmanship with modern technology – creating a feeling of comfort and high-tech.

Intelligent tools and machines for precision craftsmanship

Modern CNC technology is changing not only industry, but also the skilled trades. Exhibitors such as CNC equipment suppliers offer solutions tailored to carpenters, metalworkers, and precision engineers. The spectrum ranges from high-precision machines to industry-specific software.

  • CNC milling for wood, metal, and plastic
  • Tool solutions for individual and series production
  • CAM software with an intuitive user interface
Digitalization does not mean the loss of craftsmanship, but rather its expansion – more precise, faster, more efficient.

Building, insulating, renovating: craftsmanship for the home and garden

Traditional trades such as window construction, drywall construction, and insulation technology are also showcasing their innovative strength at the trade fair. Companies such as Böck (insulation) and Stark (windows and doors) are demonstrating how traditional architecture can be combined with energy efficiency.

  • Windows with enhanced sound insulation and thermal insulation
  • Insulation materials made from sustainable materials
  • Drywall systems for quick renovation
Solutions that combine ecological standards and high-quality craftsmanship are particularly in demand – for both new construction and renovation.

Gardens, conservatories, and outdoor spaces: craftsmanship in the open air

Whether custom-made conservatories, individually designed pool surrounds, or high-quality garden landscaping: outdoor craftsmanship combines design, technology, and weather resistance. Companies such as Gehlen Gartengestaltung and Weinor are showcasing everything that is possible today at the trade fair.

  • Patio roofs with integrated shading
  • Garden elements made of natural stone, wood, and metal
  • Conservatories with energy-efficient glass
Craftsmanship creates spaces for living – functional, durable, and with high design quality.
