NEW HOUSING 2020: Europe's largest Tiny House Festival at Messe Karlsruhe
Mobile, sustainable, flexible - Tiny Houses have many practical advantages and are becoming increasingly popular.
Europe's largest Tiny House Festival will showcase the entire diversity of the alternative living trend from 19 to 21 June 2020 at Messe Karlsruhe. For the third time, interested visitors will be able to view over 20 different Tiny Houses and choose a model. The fair also offers a platform for networking and exchange within the Tiny House community. The atrium of the exhibition grounds serves as an exhibition space for the mobile houses and offers the perfect festival atmosphere with food trucks and lounges.
Newcomers and established exhibitors show range of Tiny Houses
The NEW HOUSING - Tiny House Festival will welcome some new exhibitors in 2020. Among others, the carpentry Stefan Giesen, carpentry Mayer and the concept carpentry Wöhltjen will participate for the first time. Stephan Wöhltjen specialises above all in the construction of small transportable guest houses ("Tiny Guest House"). AL-KO Fahrzeugtechnik is also exhibiting for the first time at the Tiny House Festival and is presenting chassis as the foundation for different variants of Tiny Houses. The chassis have a modular frame concept and thus enable different body lengths and individual superstructures. Wikkelhouse shows that living "tiny" is not only possible on wheels. The Dutch company presents a Tiny House without a mobile base: the house, which is made of 24 layers of cardboard and clad in wood, can be extended at will and thus adapted for different phases of life. The whole range of different Tiny House designs will also be presented by 2020 by well-known Tiny House manufacturers such as Tiny House Diekmann. Konstruktion und Design c. kienel will also be taking part in the event, which is unique in Europe, for the second time and will be showing Tiny Houses with road approval as well as mini houses in log construction.
Minimalist furniture for space-saving interior design
For the first time, the Tiny House Festival will also occupy the Action Hall, which is directly adjacent to the Tiny House Village in the Atrium of the Exhibition Centre. The exhibition "MINIMAX Furniture for a Tiny House" in cooperation with Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences will show functional furniture for small rooms and offer inspiration for the space-saving furnishing of one's own four Tiny House walls. Interested visitors can obtain information about mobile living from Tiny House associations from all over Germany as well as from the "Tiny House-Verband e.V." for the German-speaking region, which was newly founded at Messe Karlsruhe.
Lectures and workshops for more exchange on the Tiny House
Tiny House fans can look forward to an extensive programme of lectures. In lectures and workshops, visitors will learn everything about life in a Tiny House. They can meet Tiny House residents and self-builders and benefit from their knowledge. In addition, manufacturers, suppliers and consultancies will provide insights into their work and clarify the most important questions that arise before deciding to build a Tiny House. The experts will address both the legal framework and individual ideas about life in a Tiny House.
The community meeting at Messe Karlsruhe offers manufacturers, outfitters, self-builders, associations and fans of mobile houses the opportunity to network and exchange ideas. In addition, interested parties will find everything they need to build a Tiny House themselves.
