Inspiring design ideas –
yesterday, today and tomorrow
yesterday, today and tomorrow
Through its special installations, imm cologne turns the spotlight on important trends in the world of interior design. This year's trend highlights include visionary interior design scenarios as well as classics that are always "in".
A focus on Dutch design
For the first time ever, imm cologne 2008 will feature a special guest country. This year, the focus is on Dutch design and its significance in an international context. What characterizes Dutch furniture and interiors? And what kind of ideas for living can customers find in Dutch furniture and design outlets? imm cologne provides an overview of the national characteristics of the Netherlands and presents ideas for future living from Dutch architects and designers. In addition, the services of one of the country's best-known architects, Ben van Berkel, have been secured to create the design for imm pure.
The Netherlands have always been a major trading nation with a long tradition of close commercial ties to Germany. The country also plays a leading role in the furniture trade. imm cologne will further strengthen the trading links between the two neighbours and help promote the development of innovative sales and marketing strategies.
imm comfort
The whole wide world of upholstered furniture: imm comfort will be presenting a unique variety of three-piece suites, armchairs, divans and individual sofas and couches - a broad selection of high-quality furniture for sitting and relaxing. Today there are no limits to the shapes on offer: whether it's solidly square, oval, rounded or even playfully curved, the modern sofa accommodates all design styles. Likewise, floor-length upholstery is also making a comeback. As in other segments, multifunctionality is in big demand, with more and more innovative models featuring integrated technology that can adapt to individual comfort requirements.
Flexible living at the highest level: visitors to imm comfort will gain not only a broad overview of all the latest design trends but also comprehensive information on services and sales concepts. The show represents the full spectrum of the international upholstered furniture industry
