We want them to discover new products, new trends, and new ways of salon, » he explains. This year, the fair will focus on three main themes: housing, mobility, and world crafts. These themes were chosen to reflect the current societal trends and needs.

With the rise of eco-friendly and sustainable salon, the fair will showcase the latest innovations in this field. From tiny houses to smart homes, visitors will have the opportunity to discover new ways of salon that are both environmentally friendly and practical.
