INDEX, the leading meeting place for the interior design and fit-out industries, is gearing up for its highly anticipated event scheduled to take place from June 4th to June 6th at the prestigious Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). Organized by dmg events, this year’s show is set to welcome 37 exhibiting countries from across Europe, North and South America, Oceania, and the Middle East, showcasing the global significance of interior design and fit-out sectors.
With the built environment accounting for a substantial portion of global resource consumption, INDEX 2024 underscores the importance of sustainable practices, technological integration, and wellness initiatives within the interior design landscape. According to the latest INDEX Global Market Report, an overwhelming 98.5 percent of companies consider sustainability in product sourcing, with 76 percent committing to sourcing certain volumes of products sustainably.
Elaine O’Connell, Vice President of Design & Hospitality at dmg events, emphasized the evolving nature of the interior design industry, stating, “Sustainability, technology, and well-being are pivotal drivers of growth and innovation within the sector. INDEX serves as a crucial platform for the industry to explore these themes and shape the future of interior design. Embracing technological advancements can usher in a transformative era where design is not only visually appealing but also sustainable and responsible.”
Reflecting these themes, INDEX 2024 will feature 11 sectors covering various aspects of interior design, including furniture, accessories, textiles, lighting, and more. Sustainability, technology, and wellness will also be integrated into the event’s two major conferences: the INDEX Design Talks and The Furnishings and Textiles Summit, boasting presentations by over 100 industry leaders and trendsetters.
The show will host over 400 exhibitors, including renowned names such as Gautier, Elite Stone, Ligne Roset, and Minotti, alongside emerging disruptors driving the transformation agenda.
