Following the success of "Talents" at Messe Frankfurt's German shows, Interior Lifestyle China will feature the concepts and prototypes of 13 young designers from China, Europe and Japan. The show, which debuted in 2007, will run from October 10 - 13 at the Shanghai Exhibition Centre.

Nicolette Naumann, Vice President of Consumer Goods Fairs for Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH, commented: "For this year's Shanghai show, we have selected six young designers from Europe and Japan — Kai Linke, Maria Volokhova and Nicole Bauer from Germany, Aliki Stroumpouli from Greece and Dan Namura and SOL from Japan. Representing different cultures and styles, they are bound to bring an extraordinary storm of innovation to the local design circles."

"Talents" is one of Messe Frankfurt's most important global programs to promote original design and it has been presented at 11 German exhibitions for six successive years.
