Public Hours

A warm welcome to Public Hours on January 17. A unique opportunity where we for the first time invite the public to experience a part of Formex!

A unique evening for those who love interior design

Formex, the Nordic region’s largest trade fair for design and interior professionals, invites the design-loving public for the first time to a wonderful trend evening with inspiration and mingling.

We are finally opening the doors to all design and interior design enthusiasts who do not work in the industry and thus do not get the opportunity to visit the fair. A unique evening after the fair’s regular opening hours, the entrance square is kept exclusively open for a design-loving public to finally get a small part of Formex. Do not miss 2 1/2 hours of inspiring lectures, trends, unique display of Krickelin’s entrance square exhibition “House of Creativity” with participating craftsmen and have the opportunity to buy the exhibitors’ product news in the Formex Shop.

Buy your ticket today and experience Formex Public Hours on January 17, 2025!
