imm cologne 2018

•••4••• Messewelten Messe-Rundgang zur Anzeigen-Spezial imm cologne 2018 A t this year’s imm cologne, a huge diversity of styles and ranges is exhibited across eleven halls. In the classic design seg- ment “Pure”, the major brand names develop complete living philosophies and allow visitors to participate in their lifestyle. In the gallery-like halls of Pure Editions, exhibitors of visionary furniture and interior design con- cepts disseminate their ideas. Here, inspiring formats such as the special exhibition Featured Editions can also be found, which in 2018 will be putting installations on the theme of light on show in so-called “Light Labs”. In 2018, the main theme of the Featured Editions is “Light”, for which Pure Editions exhibitors have developed creative exhibits. For the first time ever, the nine productions distributed across Halls 3.2 and 2.2 are not presented on platforms, but rather in “Light Labs”: pyramid-shaped spaces spanned with gauze material in which the light is caught and as- sumes form. “Smart Living” The subject of light will also be brought into focus in the new ex- hibition format Pure Architects. Here, architecture-related prod- uct lines for floors, bathrooms and lighting as well as smart home solutions are expected to provide inspiration for holistic design concepts – specifically for architects and end custom- ers. Under the motto “Smart Liv- ing”, visitors can explore a func- tioning smart home and try out the latest technologies. In Hall 11, over three floors, renowned design brands present their lat- est innovations in stylish furnish- ing. “As in past years, we have a very high level of participation in the Pure format again this year, and a very international range of exhibitors,” says Matthias Poll- mann, Vice President Trade Fair Management, as he looks for- ward expectantly to the upcom- ing imm cologne. “We’ve noticed over the last few years how imm cologne is not only used as an important international business platform for the furnishing in- dustry, but also as a source of in- spiration to discover, in January, the furnishing trends for the year ahead.” Several new brands will be exhibiting for the first time in 2018, including a number of Spanish design labels – they are joining the numerous exhibitors that have been attending imm cologne for several years. New fashionable interior labels Scandinavian design is now on- trend like never before, and new fashionable interior labels are providing fresh momentum. The young Scandinavian brands that regularly return to Cologne have achieved cult status within a very short period of time. The outdoor domain, which is rep- resented by a growing number of exhibitors at imm cologne, is be- coming increasingly important for the furnishing industry. Natural materials are also hugely popular in the furniture sector and can be experienced first-hand as well. In addition to furniture, the pro- gramme also features accesso- ries, light and a series of vernis- sages, campaigns, concerts and other events at which new inte- rior design topics are highlighted and discussed.
