Press releases of idd cologne

From 26 to 29 October 2025, Cologne will play host to idd cologne 2025, the first edition of a new premium interior design event. With its innovative urban-only focus, the format is bringing around 100 design brand presentations, a themed information programme and networking opportunities right to where people live and work – the very heart of Cologne. Aimed at both industry experts and private individuals with a keen interest in design, idd cologne will transform the city into a stage for contemporary home and interior design ideas for four days.

idd cologne 2025 is pushing the boundaries and bringing the creative power of the industry directly to where it has the greatest impact: right in the centre of Cologne, at carefully chosen design locations throughout the city. By taking this approach, the interior design days are evolving into a modern “urban-only” format, conceived to bring inspiration, dialogue and brand presence to life more vividly than ever before in the beating heart of the city. The premium interior design event will assemble a wealth of brands for its debut from 26 to 29 October. Instead of taking place in the traditional exhibition halls, as originally planned, idd’s urban exhibition stage will be sited at the renowned Design Post venue, Koelnmesse’s new regular cooperation partner, among other locations.

A new trade fair for premium interior design will be launched in autumn 2025 with the inaugural edition of idd cologne. Parallel to the trade fair, the accompanying urban event programme idd cologne downtown will invite visitors to experience design across the entire city of Cologne from 26 to 29 October. More than 25 partners – ranging from established furniture stores and showrooms to creative pop-ups and design boutiques – have already signed up for the initiative, which is set to transform Cologne into a buzzing design destination.

idd cologne, the new premium trade fair for exclusive interior design, will open its doors for its inaugural edition from 26 to 29 October 2025. Sales are well under way, and even at this point in time, shortly before the end of the early-bird booking period, it is clear that the new trade fair format is attracting great interest. Many renowned brands have already confirmed their appearance at the debut event by placing binding registrations. Interested exhibitors still have until the end of May to benefit from the attractive early-bird offers.

The very first edition of idd cologne will be held in Cologne from 26 to 29 October 2025. As a new premium trade fair for high-quality interior design concepts, it will bring together leading brands, professionals and design enthusiasts from all over Europe. The central theme of the new industry event is "Shaping Homes & Hospitality" – an invitation to take a fresh look at residential, hotel, hospitality and public spaces. With this theme, idd cologne aims to spark ideas for future interior design in which stylish solutions, responsibility and quality of life go hand in hand.

From 26 to 29 October 2025, idd cologne will mark its debut in Cologne. The new trade fair for premium interior design solutions for the residential, hotel and catering sectors will bring the high-end interior community together, with participants travelling from across Europe to attend. With a focus on strong brands, innovative design and groundbreaking interior trends, the new platform for inspiration will also open its doors to members of the public.
