BATIMAT will occupy four halls. In Hall 4, Interior and Outdoor fittings will take centre stage, while Hall 5A will host the Workshop Machinery and Joinery/Closures sectors. Hall 5B will be home to Tools, Site Equipment and – for the first time - commercial vehicles, including outdoor areas for demonstrations.

Finally, in Hall 6 visitors will find the “Building Structure and Envelope solutions” area together with all the sector’s main trade organisations.

BATIMAT more than ever is the place to be for industry professionals, offering a wide range of activities to help them prepare today to face the major challenges of tomorrow. With exhibition spaces and talk tracks entirely focused on what’s hot in construction, trade visitors to BATIMAT will find everything they need to make sense of developments in the building sector. With over 1,000 exhibitors registered, coming from every sector of the industry, the show will bring together all the major players.
Featuring alongside the exhibitors’ presentations and the show regulars, there will be a number of unmissable features at this year's event:
1. City of tomorrow
The city of tomorrow is being built today. At the interface between buildings and mobility, the city is evolving and changing, and technological and technical breakthroughs have brought about new interactions which directly impact construction. The industry needs to reinvent itself, and BATIMAT offers visitors the innovative solutions required to make this happen.
2. Understand the expectations of new residents
Users and residents want better lives, and to play a part in the design of their homes. With one special day devoted to the topic, BATIMAT will question players from the Architecture and Construction sectors about this new trend - Wednesday 6 November.
3. Inventing new homes
Housing is reinventing itself and adapting to new forms of use. Primarily a place for us to live, the home is also becoming a place of work. It’s a functional space which evolves over the years to accommodate lifestyle changes. BATIMAT shines the spotlight on these new homes to better understand them.
"Smart living and smart working": a full half-day track with the SBA (Forum Hall 6) – Wednesday 6 November:

The new area, CONSTRUCTION TECH® has the largest and most comprehensive range of building digitalisation solutions.

Widely used in construction, wood naturally features strongly at BATIMAT. More generally however the sector is also increasingly promoting renewable and no-waste solutions.
6. Proven renovation and decarbonisation solutions

Two five metre-tall interactive sculptures, designed by multi-award winning British designer, Steuart Padwick will be erected in King’s Cross shortly for this year’s designjunction event (19-22 Sept) as part of London Design Festival.

Craig & Rose marks its evolution from one of the UK’s oldest luxury paint manufacturers to paint protagonists by way of a special colour installation for the 2019 edition of the London Design Fair.

Young designer at Panaz uses new collection to address sustainability issues
Panaz' young designer Simon Attard will launch his debut collection Underground at Clerkenwell Design Week on an industry first, environmentally responsible recycled contract fabric, using this unique opportunity to raise awareness of environmental issues facing the planet today.
The Underground collection takes inspiration from graffiti and the street art of 1970’s and 80’s New York, right through to that seen on our city streets today. Fusing this design with the latest flame retardant, recycled fabric innovation from Panaz, they have created an industry first; a truly sustainable and environmentally responsible product, both in message and in substance.
The designs are current, cool and contemporary, and the product they are combined into is intrinsically stylish with great environmental credentials. Named Underground, this collection reflects designs ordinarily associated with counter culture and misguidance, and in name, subtly references the increasingly disposable society and waste issues that we deal with every day, on our streets, underground in landfill, and in our oceans.

Arper presents its own interpretation of contemporary trends
Once again anticipating and seizing the evolution of everyday life and workspaces, Arper pursued a new direction embodied in their Soft(er) concept. Living in the digital era that demands our constant attention, we have never been more connected, on the move, going faster. That is why Arper felt the need to offset this overexposure to stimuli that leads us to a frenzied lifestyle, with the pursuit of people, places and objects that keep us balanced. In need of stability, softness, space, more air, and soft - or rather Soft(er) - objects. In our everyday interactions with the surrounding environment, Arper recognise that the quality of space has an impact on everything, from health to productivity, creativity to collaboration, and so on; as we look for places that can offer us comfort, authenticity, care, inspiration. This softer approach to living, learning, and working has framed their collections, introducing products which act as manifestations of essential human values – connection, sensitivity, comfort and ease.
Arper’s exhibition space at the Salone interprets the Soft(er) theme by using soft materials such as fabrics, transparent materials that allow light to illuminate spaces in a natural way, and streamlined, welcoming shapes. The project was designed by the MAIO creative team, under the artistic direction of Lievore Altherr and styling by Leandro Favaloro, featuring Arper’s new collections for 2019; Paravan Mood designed by Lievore Altherr and Saul design by Jean-Marie Massaud.
Dekton by Cosentino x Benjamin Hubert - RAYTRACE Installation
The global leader in the production and distribution of innovative surfaces for architecture and design, the Cosentino Group, was delighted to collaborate with British designer Benjamin Hubert of LAYER design studio on the immersive RAYTRACE installation at Milan Design Week 2019. The spectacular architectural installation showcased Cosentino’s latest launch, the game changing 4mm Dekton® Slim surface, bringing it to life with light in this immersive experience.
Set within the dark, atmospheric tunnels of Ventura Centrale, RAYTRACE comprised of a 25-metre long and 6-metre high triangular passage made using Dekton® Slim ultra-compact surfaces. These surfaces, seemingly balanced on a single edge, created a huge passageway in which visitors could walk under. A mesmerising pattern was created by 29 glass spheres and 87 LED lights, created by the UK’s leading art lighting specialists, TM Lighting, whilst two mirrors at both ends of the vault created the illusion of infinite space. RAYTRACE used Dekton® Slim, Cosentino’s latest surfacing launch with a thickness of only 4mm. Slim combines the durability and technology of Dekton® in a thinner and lighter format, making it one of the most innovative and lightweight surfaces on the market, perfect for wall cladding.
Elite Stone design with luxurious raw materials
The Elite Stone exhibition used ample spaces characterised by neutral colours, interrupted here and there by colour points and contrasting patterns. The display of precious materials included Calacatta Borghini, Coral Black Onyx, White Onyx, Sahara Noir, representing the most superior selection of stone made in Italy with the insert of metals for varying finishes. The elegant and sophisticated atmosphere was inspired by the Lobby of luxury hotels around the world to generate a contemporary and cosmopolitan atmosphere.

150 square meters divided into unique areas that invited the visitor into an engaging and unforgettable experience, from the Lobby and the Living area, to the SPA & Bathroom section. The wall coverings and wall art panels on the stand represent the new Sauvage Collection designed by Tetyana Kovalenko which is a recurring element of the stand, so much so that it has become the common thread that accompanies the visitor in the discovery of every single space, encapsulating the essence of elegance in design throughout.

USM interior collections respond to the merging of home and work lifestyles
Where is the boundary between home and work today? Over the past year USM and UNStudio have been looking for it. From building absurd domestic rooms for the PlayGround at Salone del Mobile in Milan to building scenarios at the WorkHouse in Berlin, they've identified the drivers which are changing the way people work and live today, in order to paint a clearer picture of the future. Surprisingly, few people want to keep home and work separate. Work is more fun when we choose where to carry it out – it gives us freedom and self-determination. As such a third space is emerging between home and work - co-workspaces, cafes, hotel lobbies and libraries - where we work collectively alongside people we don’t know.
While diverse in design, what these third spaces share is community. Being together with others is just as important as getting the job done. The furnishings relax us and the ability to move between a variety of zones keeps us motivated and engaged. In many ways these feel more like spaces of leisure; undetermined and open to interpretation. More like a public square than an office or a living room.
The Dandy Collection, designed and developed by Giuseppe Viganò, becomes Concept
