...and boost your visibility among trade visitors: trade fairs are key events for brands of all sizes to sell and network. On 27 July, we’ll take you behind the scenes at the fair: specifically at Nordstil!
As the central hub for the north, the B2B consumer goods trade fair Nordstil attracts a large number of buyers to Hamburg every year. With a strong focus on the retail sector, Nordstil has established itself as a fixture in the industry. Exhibitors from Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia showcase their products here across categories such as Style & Design and Jewellery & Fashion. There are also dedicated areas featuring smaller manufacturers, university graduates and particularly innovative designs.
We invite you to a guided tour of Nordstil, where you’ll gain exclusive insights into the workings of the trade fair. Meeting point: Exhibition halls, at the information desk in the foyer by the central entrance (near the TV tower). You’ll meet the planning experts at Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH who are behind the organisation of Nordstil. We’ll also visit exhibition stands of all sizes from brands based in Hamburg, where you can discuss the opportunities and benefits of exhibiting at a trade fair. Afterwards, you’ll have the chance to explore the halls on your own and be inspired by the variety of products and the different ways they’re presented.

For our Design Visits, we visit exciting places, exhibitions, production facilities and craft businesses for designers in Hamburg, such as print shops, textile and fashion productions, joineries, metalworking and recycling companies as well as trade fairs and museums.
The excursions give you exciting insights into the institutions, workshops, manufacturing techniques and production processes and can inspire you to realise future projects and make new contacts.
Previous excursions have included the Made fashion and textile production centre in Veddel, the Nordstil trade fair and the Museum für Kunst & Gewerbe (MK&G).
Nordstil is organized twice a year in Hamburg by Messe Frankfurt. Messe Frankfurt is the world's largest trade fair organizer and has a portfolio of more than 30 international consumer goods fairs worldwide.

In this workshop, you’ll gather the good things you’ve long since encountered in your everyday life – and turn them into a message that you can send out into the world. Over the course of four hours, you’ll work your way from small observations towards a desirable future, and go home with your own poster, which will become part of a collective wall.
At Design Visits, we show you places and exhibitions in Hamburg that are exciting for designers. This time it's off to the exhibition halls - because Nordstil is back!
In ‘Design with Perspective’, we discuss design practices that challenge power structures. This time, the focus is on participation and visibility.
