A globally unique platform:
imm cologne 2016
The beginning of the 2016 furniture year is heralded by the most important event in its calendar: imm cologne sets the trends, business momentum and topics for the entire furniture year, as early as January! Cologne is in the middle of the world’s most important sales market, Germany, and centrally located in Europe. Only here will you, as an exhibitor, find all the relevant target groups in one place – as well as the perfect opportunity to present your ideas and innovations to the whole world all at once!

But the trade fair is not restricted to the trade fair grounds! Across the whole metropolis of Cologne, in shops, galleries and exciting, pop-up and off-the-beaten-track locations, special events and spectacular formats will provide plenty to talk about. For one week, the entire city will become the furnishing capital of Europe!
Unparalleled inspiration:
LivingInteriors 2016
This is where furniture worlds transform into living worlds: LivingInteriors comprehensively brings the latest innovations and concepts from the areas of bathroom and room design to life. In 2016, everything will revolve around the “Trend Avenue”. Along this centrally located street of pure innovation, visitors will experience the trends and concepts of tomorrow at numerous stands as well as at exciting special shows – not least at the Forum with its inspiring event programme.

The perfect combination: as it does every two years, the interplay of LivingInteriors and imm cologne provides for even more appeal, entirely new target groups and all sorts of added value for you as an exhibitor.
