TENDENCE FRANKFURT A M M A I N 
 Outdoor Living area at Tendence BY HELLE MATHIESEN Living is increasingly relocating outside into the fresh air. Balconies and terraces have been an extension of the living room for a long time. And they are also the places where people increasingly surround themselves with fresh greenery and beautiful accessories. The Outdoor Living area will put garden plants on display with outdoor lifestyle products - in an exhibition space between the Galleria and Hall 10, and in the F11 area outdoors. - The special exhibition concept makes a visit to the area a genuine expe- rience. A feeling of well-being on our balcony is not just demonstrated in a theoretical way: It can be experienced in practice - and there are more exhibitors and products this time than previously. The area has devel- oped into a unique selling point for Tendence. It is an ordering platform and, first and foremost, an impulse generator for the point of sale, says Bettina Bär, Director of Tendence. Open space full of life In Frankfurt am Main, from 30 June to 3 July 2018, Tendence will be showcasing how every open space – whether it is a micro-balcony, a roof terrace, or a park-like garden, can be filled with life. For the second time, Tendence has commissioned 2Dezign from the Netherlands to stage an exclusive exhibition concept. Visitors will be given inspirational ideas and acquire impressions of best practice for customized product presen- tation of plants, outdoor furniture and outdoor accessories.
