TEFAF Talk

SUNDAY, MARCH 15, 2026

1:00PM — 2:00PM CET
TEFAF SALON, MECC MAASTRICHT

 

Registration is mandatory but free to TEFAF Maastricht ticket holders

Overview

Interior design is witnessing a renewed fascination with ornaments and layered spaces, moving away from “millennial grey” and reintroducing patterns to the walls of our homes. This shift reflects a broader interest in integrating the past into contemporary interiors.  

 

The discussion explores the renewed fascination with tapestry, both as a serious art form and as an increasingly influential element in contemporary interior design. Drawing on the perspectives of contemporary interior designers, wall-covering manufacturers, and art dealers, the conversation traces the legacy of tapestry and wall coverings–from its history and contemporary workshops to how these traditions continue to evolve today. 

 

TEFAF Talks are interactive panel discussions exploring today’s most fascinating topics in the worlds of art, antiques, and design. Paired with leading content partners, these talks showcase the knowledge of leading experts in the broader TEFAF community. This talk is presented in partnership with The World of Interiors and moderated by Alice Kemp-Habib, Features Editor, The World of Interiors.
