Imm Cologne<\/a> is a fair where quite a number of novelties are presented. There used to be a period when all novelties were presented in Milan in April but now more and more manufacturers are choosing to reveal their new products, texture or colours first in Cologne.<\/p>\n Imm Cologne<\/a> is mainly a furniture fair which partners up every two years with Living Kitchen<\/a>, which takes part with Imm Cologne every two years. Also, since the successful introduction of exclusive high-end fabrics and wallpapers in 2011, this too has become a permanent part of Imm Cologne<\/a> that is presented every two years under the name Pure textiles<\/a>. It is quiet a logical step. Ultimately for someone who delivers a total interior like me, a design cannot be complete without the right wallpaper, window decoration or cushions<\/p>\n To me Arte is the king in the world of wallpaper. Arte is a Belgian wallpaper manufacturer, who not only delivers amazing wallpaper of high quality but also creates an incredible experience around it. Do you want to have wallpaper and have the budget to spare for something of one of a kind? Arte is your brand.<\/p>\n The booth of Arte is clad in novelties. The collections that catch your eyes the most are the three dimensional textile wall coverings named “Eclipse Black & White edition” and “Enigma”. I imagine someone wanting a wow effect will be smitten by this collection. It gets your attention with the pop-up effect, is soft to the touch and the patterns are gorgeous whether it is an abstract pattern such as with “Flex” or a leafy impression such as in “Feuillage”. I for one am convinced and look forward to integrate this or any of their other recent collections such as \u201cShibori\u201d, \u201cMahlia\u201d or \u201cRhapsody\u201d in any one of my projects.<\/p>\n To those of you who are interested, Arte will also be showing the collection in Paris Deco off<\/a> in Paris (22 – 26 January) and Intirio<\/a> in Gent ( 1 – 4 february)<\/p>\n Arte – Imm Cologne 2015<\/p><\/div>\n Do you wish to have luxury, charisma and a wow feeling in your window decoration, cushions or upholstery of your furniture? Zimmer + Rohde can help you with that. Zimmer + Rohde is a German brand which not only manufactures amazing textile but accompanies that with excellent service.<\/p>\n The complete booth of Zimmer + Rohde is lined with novelties. Collections such as \u201cDexter\u201d, \u201cModerna\u201d or \u201cStimulation\u201d just makes a girl dream on. The collection “Dexter” has a subtle shadow effect. This is because the stripes attached to the fabric has a dark edging. “Moderna” with its abstract pattern can be integrated in any interior style while on the other hand “Stimulation” has quiet a in your face pattern. “Stimulation” in the right place will do just that. Wow you!<\/p>\n Zimmer + Rohde also stepped in to the world of wallpaper last year and this year they have several additions to the collection. The collections “Planet”, “Bark” or “Tree” are some that are definitely a must have.<\/p>\n Zimmer + Rohde will also be present at Paris Deco Off<\/a> from 22nd to 26th January.<\/p>\n Zimmer Rohde – Imm Cologne 2015<\/p><\/div>\n Kymo is a rug manufacturer established in 2005. They always seem to have fun and creative carpets in their collection and this year, again they do not disappoint.<\/p>\n Kymo has come up with a sister to their collection \u201cNordic Plain\u201d namely \u201cNordic Flower\u201d. \u201cNordic Plain\u201d is more streamlined than \u201cNordic Flower\u201d which as obvious with the name has a flowery pattern . The colour palette available for these rug collections can bring colour to an interior without overwhelming a space. Subtle, but with an attitude.<\/p>\n The \u201cLiquid Funk\u201d is quite an interesting novelty too with its funky design in a mixture of wool and viscose.<\/p>\n But I have to say that my all time favourite will be the \u201cPour Soul\u201d hands down. I just love the leather and the fine difference in pattern with the finishing. Add to that, the red stitching \u2026. That\u2019s the rug that\u2019s going to steal the show!<\/p>\n Kymo – Imm Cologne 2015<\/p><\/div>\n For me, a typical collection of MDF Italia, an Italian manufacturer for furniture will always be white, white and more white with a touch of red. Their booth in Imm Colgone is a total new representation with the white, red and black! A successful representation as such. Elegant and stylish. Their furniture collection \u201cImmotion\u201d in black and red is absolutely gorgeous. Add to that the fine finishing and the deal is sealed. Also something to take note is the black ceramic tops available in mat or gloss on their tables. Definitely something for a future project. This in combination with the beautiful and comfortable \u201cFlow chairs\u201d in all its variations, that has stolen my heart for many years \u2026 will definitely create the perfect dinning area.<\/p>\n MDF Italia – Imm Cologne 2015<\/p><\/div>\n Ethnicraft, the Belgian wooden furniture collection with oak and teak finishings have a new addition in walnut. The darker and warmer collection is a perfect new addition and creates new possibilities.<\/p>\n Notre monde has some fun additions with trays, mirrors and coffee tables in aluminium and glass finishing. Beautiful!<\/p>\n Ethnicraft and Notre Monde – Imm Cologne 2015<\/p><\/div>\n A perfect representation of the trend colours, presented in the booth of Cassina<\/a> with the aid of accessories.<\/p>\n If you are talking details, the subtle integration of the door handles in cupboards of Lema<\/a> will make for quite a conversation.<\/p>\n In case you are looking for that one wow element to finish off your interior, look no further than the clocks from Gallotti & Radice<\/a>.<\/p>\nMY TOP 5 IMPRESSIONS AT IMM COLOGNE<\/a> 2015:<\/h4>\n
