To this day, trade fairs are considered to be settings for important inventions and many a time bold predictions for the future were made on the basis of innovations. "The future needs the past" - the motto of last year's Trade Fair Design Annual is also incorporated in the forthcoming 15th edition of the successful standard work. As usual, the jubilee edition 2014/15 documents the best trade fair stands in the past year and presents current trends and tendencies for the future by means of large illustrations and descriptive texts. The book is rounded off by interviews with experienced trade fair experts.
