This year, more than 455 exhibitors presented their novelties at the prominent construction industry, building engineering and interior design forum of the Central and Eastern European region. In addition to the exhibitor’s offer, interested people who visited the HUNGEXPO Budapest Congress and Exhibition Center during the exhibition period were able to participate in numerous professional conferences, presentations and lectures.
During the opening ceremony on the first day, Gábor Ganczer, CEO of Hungexpo Ltd., greeted the gathering, and then Nándor Csepreghy, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Construction and Transportation, gave a speech. The CONSTRUMA Awards were also presented at the opening ceremony.
The main message of the 12th edition of the HOMEDesign Home Making Exhibition was that “home furnishing should be playful self-fulfillment”. This was connected to the appearance of the National Association of Interior Designers in mini-interiors entitled DESIGNCubes, the Hungarian Design stand, where the products of young designers were presented in mini-interiors. Also do the programms of FABUNIO Wood Like After and Thousand-Colored Wood Extra – PLAYGROUND, which were visited by many of the visitors.
The results of the competition of the Association of Carpet Designers were also announced at the HOMEDesign exhibition, where the grand prize-winning HEXAMO amoeba toy line was also presented.

Based on the feedback from the participants, the discussions of the Stonemason Conference and the Interior Designers’ Round Table, as well as the professional discussion of the Society of Carpet Designers entitled “Green alternative in textile design” were extremely successful.
The main message of 42nd CONSTRUMA International trade fair for construction industry was the quality and sustainability, which was also in the focus of the exhibited products and services, and the professional programs were connected to this, which – this time too – were concentrated on the first three days of the exhibition.
