A global showcase of consumer goods innovation

(Sponsored) Offering a unique breadth of supplies, equipment, concepts and solutions, Ambiente provides many opportunities and possibilities to the ever-changing market. The fair takes place Feb. 7-11, 2025, and showcases an unparalleled range of products for different style directions and living spaces including sustainability, lifestyle and design, future retail and digital expansion of trade and more. 

Ambiente is the leading and most international consumer goods trade fair, tracking every change in the market. The fair’s dining, living, giving, and working areas meet the needs of retailers and commercial end users. 

Yvonne Engelmann, director of Ambiente living, giving, and working at Messe Frankfurt, has overseen the Giving area since 2011. In 2016, she added the Living area to her responsibilities. By 2020, she took on the management of the Working area, leading a dedicated team to drive innovation in the consumer goods sector. 

Passionate about the world of consumer goods, Engelmann is eager to embrace new challenges that promote global trade and foster valuable business connections, opening new perspectives for the industry.

From gift items to decorative and personal accessories to bags, the giving product area at Ambiente truly celebrates the diversity of giving. For all occasions and lifestyles, this area offers an exciting, cross-sector product mix.

“Ambiente Giving welcomes visitors to the world of presents and personal accessories,” Engelmann said. “Whether trendy gifts, stationery, greetings cards, writing utensils, school supplies, bags or souvenirs, Hall 4.2 (giving product area) becomes a place-to-be for all forms of trade.” 

With nearly 300 exhibitors in Hall 4.2, attendees at Ambiente Giving at urban gifts, stationery and school sections can expect a diverse, high-quality range of products. 

“Hall 4.2 is one of the halls on the exhibition grounds with the greatest variety of suppliers and a colorful assortment, inspiring and inviting visitors to discover new items for their core and additional assortments,” Engelmann said.

Ambiente Giving excels in bringing together international brands across different sectors in school, stationery and urban gifts, including:

School: Apli Paper, Ancor or Factis. 

Stationery: A.T. Cross Company, Caran d’Ache, h&m gutberlet, Lindocatelli, Monteverde-Conklin, Platinum Pen, Rössler, Ray & Bluestone, Trodat, Waldmann and more.

In 2025, Ambiente Giving will once again provide a distinctive platform featuring a wide array of international writing utensil brands and premium stationery products. 

The proximity to Ambiente living and working in Halls 3.0 and 3.1, as well as to Christmasworld (Halls 4.0 and 4.1) and the global sourcing section of Christmasworld (Hall 6.2), enhances synergies and encourages business with new customers.

Ambiente 2025 is a diverse and dynamic event, promising a mix of exhibitors and innovative presentations tailored to the international design and business landscape. Attendees can expect a comprehensive showcase from essential kitchenware and tableware to gifts, stationery, home accessories, interior design elements and more. 

A standout feature is The Lounge — Shades of Space, a presentation by Ambiente’s designer of the year, Fabian Freytag. This experience aims to be a gathering point bridging interior design, hospitality and business. 

“With the choice of this multiple award-winner, Ambiente emphasizes its competence as a focal point for the international design scene,” Engelmann said.

February 11, 2025, will be dedicated as Sustainability Day — a day focusing on keynotes, best practices and insights for sustainable development in the trade sector. The Ambiente Trends25+ presentation will highlight emerging trends in shapes, colors and materials that influence future design choices across dining, living and workspace products, focusing on sustainable and circular materials.

With so much to explore, attendees are encouraged to prepare in advance. “The offers on display is so immense,” Engelmann said, recommending Ambiente’s online exhibitor search and event calendar for a streamlined experience. February 2025 in Frankfurt promises a vibrant, forward-looking Ambiente, as Engelmann noted: “We are looking forward to your visit!”
