Experience urban premium interior design

idd cologne is set to conquer the city’s most creative spaces

During idd cologne 2025, three locations filled with historic significance and special appeal for interior design, innovators and the skilled crafts opened as urban exhibition venues: Design Post Köln , Stoff-Pavillon Moeller and machwerkhaus köln . Whether they stand out due to their industrial charm or outstanding architecture or as a hub and platform, each venue offered exhibitors a stage for showcasing their brand in a stylish and sophisticated ambience. Forming a diverse urban network for creative exchanges, the three venues promised to be full of fresh impetus for the residential, hospitality and contract interiors segments.

Design Post -
interface and provider of impulses

Through the cooperation with the Design Post, Koelnmesse expands its location offering with an ideally accessible venue and opens up possibilities for many new formats and crossovers, such as idd cologne, taken place in October 2025

Located in the Deutz-Mülheimer Straße and used by the post office in various functions since 1919, the now protected industrial monument was a hub in international mail traffic in its original function. Following sensitive refurbishment and its resurrection as Design Post, the building today serves as a presentation area for extraordinary furniture and design brands and as an accelerator of creative potential.

Stoff-Pavillon Moeller -
a postwar icon in new splendour

Created in 1952 in the Hahnenstraße by the architect Wilhelm Riphahn, the Stoff-Pavillon Moeller emphasises the functional lightness of postwar architecture in Cologne with its horizontal facade layering and the ground floor with slanted display case windows.

machwerkhaus köln -
centre for design and urban production

The machwerkhaus köln, a center for design and urban production, complements the creative district of Kalk with a new impetus for sustainable urban development. It is a place where innovation, craftsmanship, and design come together: interdisciplinary, resource-efficient, and future-oriented. Here, new ideas are developed, traditional craftsmanship is continued, and the creative industry is strengthened—with direct links to brick-and-mortar and digital commerce. The machwerkhaus is intended to be a hub for the startup and creative scene, for Cologne's urban society, and for guests from Germany and abroad who are interested in design. Manufacturers, craft businesses, fashion labels, food tech startups, prototype builders, design offices, and many other small and innovative companies will find space for development, production, presentation, and sales here on an area of 20,000 square meters.
