Good reasons for idd cologne

Design meets city

With its premiere, idd cologne presented itself as an impressive industry event for exclusive interior design. Leading premium manufacturing companies met with a design-oriented and well-funded public – ideal conditions for business networking in the important premium interiors market. With the innovative "urban-only" approach, creativity and design were brought directly into the city. Select venues like the renowned Design Post Köln, the historic Stoff-Pavillon Moeller and the creative machwerkhaus köln became central meeting points for experts and those interested in design. The concept was complemented by the participation of independent showrooms and store partners in the Cologne city centre. The event offered visitors visionary design talks, exclusive product presentations and inspiring stagings – exactly there where people live and work – in the heart of Cologne.

Impressions To the final report

idd cologne - the concept

More than a classic trade fair: idd cologne has redefined interior design – as an interplay between brand presentations and creative formats in the urban environment. Instead of focusing on central exhibition halls, the event made use of architecturally striking locations across the city – linked by a programme that opens up new perspectives on design, the exchange of ideas and brand presence. In this way, Cologne itself became a resonance chamber for stimulating encounters between the market, the creative scene and the public.
