Decorate Life, the multi-trade show staged for the first time and featuring Tendence, Collectione, Outdoor Living and the Design Annual event, attracted around 70 000 visitors and so exceeded the target set by Messe Frankfurt. The organisers highlight the increased internationality of the fair, which came to an end on 4 July. A total of 35 per cent of the visitors came from abroad, which amounts to an increase of six percentage points by comparison with Tendence 2007. However, the number of German trade visitors was on the decline.
