Turning consumer trends into opportunities

This makes Hall 4.2. the perfect place for the spontaneous buyers of tomorrow.

Brave mix & match: it's all about an attractive, surprising offer
This is precisely why the curated Ms. Paper & Friends area presents a selection from the Urban Gifts, Stationery & School segment in an original and inspiring presentation. This time as a pop-up store under the motto “Live like it's spring! A Springtime Stroll through Hall 4.2”. “With spring-like lightness, a range is created that promises everyone a discovery, entertains and surprises: with cheerful kitsch, with useful and beautiful things, with little things that bring a breath of fresh air and color into everyday life, original gift ideas or trendy accessories. What counts, depending on the season, is to present your own selection in a convincing way,” says curator Angelika Niestrath. Ms. Paper & Friends offers retailers a stimulating inspirational experience, innovative ideas for product range design and presentation as well as a refreshing look outside the box.
