With around 1,200 companies from 50 countries expected, the dual trade fair of Imm cologne and LivingKitchen 2017 presents itself as a diverse, versatile product exhibition and represents current interior design trends. Over 100,000 pieces of furniture and other furnishing items will be exhibited, around a third of which will be presented to the international market for the first time at the Cologne exhibition.Sofas are readily positioned on terraces, traditional rugs are showcased in contemporary settings, and workstations and chairs find truly mobile applications. Furniture and rugs tell stories – sometimes they conjure up a feeling of entering one another, much-loved era (currently on-trend: the seventies), sometimes they recount tales of handicrafts or bear witness to the significance of traditional patterns. Old designs are created in new materials (such as Tencel), new designs take shape in old materials (such as wool, marble, wood, and wickerwork), and modern mirrors reflect marbled surfaces through the perspective of a nostalgic haze, yet are completely lead-free.The presentations by the first fair guests from different interiors segments are part of the “Köln möbliert” (Furnishing Cologne) campaign. For this project, photographs of products are taken in unusual locations in and around Cologne before they are introduced at the fair. For the campaign’s sixth year, exhibitors are once again entrusted the press team from Imm cologne with the presentation of their latest furniture and interior designs.From Mid-Century Modern to Scandinavian styles, you can find basically everything you need!
