An overview of the world's largest trade fair and international styles and trends.
While sitting on a Boeing 767, flying at 36,000 feet and going almost 600 miles per hour, I decided to use the 8-hour flight time from Frankfurt, Germany to the United States to consolidate my many thoughts and impressions after attending ISH 2003. ISH, which stands for International Sanitary Heating, is a large trade fair for plumbing, heating, air conditioning and ventilation products that's held every other year in Frankfurt.
It was a unique pleasure for me to attend as a journalist for Supply House Times. The show is so big, almost overwhelming, that I had trouble deciding between doing my overall impression of the show or covering the strong trends and styles that are taking place in bathroom products and the whole "Bathroom Experience." So I decided to write about both!
