Challenge
The brief
Put working textile machinery, finished garments, three brands and a full hospitality programme on one floor, in a hall where every competitor is running machines of their own.
← Project indexExhibitions · Istanbul, Türkiye
A 450 m² stand at ITM Istanbul for the Karl Mayer Group, carrying Karl Mayer, STOLL and KM.ON on one floor — built for the group across two editions of the show, in 2022 and again in 2024.
Challenge
Put working textile machinery, finished garments, three brands and a full hospitality programme on one floor, in a hall where every competitor is running machines of their own.
Design response
A long brand wall carried the three names in sequence; the STOLL tower marked the stand from across the hall; knitting machines ran live with finished pieces on them; and a timber entrance corridor, planted moss walls and open meeting tables held the conversations away from the machine noise.
Result
The group returned for a second edition two years later — the same 450 m² footprint, in a market where an exhibitor can change contractor every show.
