Good reasons for idd cologne

Debuting in
October 2025

Welcome to idd cologne – the new industry event for exclusive interior design. This is where leading premium manufacturers will meet a design-savvy audience with strong purchasing power, opening up targeted business opportunities in Europe’s most important interior design market. With their innovative “urban-only” concept, the interior design days are bringing creativity and design right into the heart of Cologne – to carefully selected hotspots such as the renowned Design Post Köln , the historic Stoff-Pavillon Moeller and the machwerkhaus köln. The concept is further enhanced by integrating independent showrooms and store partners across Cologne’s city center. Experience forward-looking panel discussions on design themes, exclusive product launches and inspiring brand presentations – right where the creative scene, retailers and design’s leading figures come together: in the heart of Cologne.

idd cologne - the concept

idd cologne will go beyond the boundaries of a conventional trade fair to look at interior design differently – as an interplay between brand presentations and creative formats in the urban environment. Instead of focusing on central exhibition halls, the event will make 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 will become a resonance chamber for stimulating encounters between the market, the creative scene and the public.
