From next February, the Parisian textile and yarn trade shows run by Première Vision Paris, PV Fabrics and PV Yarns, will have a new exhibitor stand concept, designed to ‘urbanise the shows and their forums.’ The 811 exhibitors at the PV Fabrics show and their 44 counterparts at PV Yarns, both scheduled from February 13 to 15, will benefit from stands with rounded, matt wall panels designed to integrate monitor screens. Lighting will be through a system of ultra-streamlined lamp-stands. Designer Ora-Ïto, who was commissioned to create new exhibition spaces, explains, "The new stands are a unique combination of all of Première Vision's signature values: aesthetic research, use of new technology and environmental awareness."

Interiors make-over will synch with reorganisation of their forums and information areas. The central forum, PV Perspectives, will now be aligned with the main entrance of exhibition Hall 5. Each of the shows' other themed sections will have its own 'Selection' forum, with the addition of the Tech Focus and Jewel Focus areas in halls 6 and 4. Première Vision Paris will host 1,725 companies, of which 113 are new entries, from around fifty different countries.
