This year at
Christmasworld, the tradeshow dedicated to the world of seasonal decoration, colour stands out as the key direction for brands. Moving away from traditional colour combinations, exhibitors present an array of greens, from vibrant acids to soft sage. Chocolate browns, rust and copper are also at the forefront. The mood is energetic: exhibitors are enthusiastic and keen to engage with clients and introduce them to their new collection.

Wrapped: Star, heart and wreath-shaped baubles appear to be randomly wrapped in wool and cotton yarns.
Heinr Frees uses multicoloured yarn, adding a touch of the hand-made to a tree.
