Jointly hosted by the Association of the German Furniture Industry (VDM) and the German Federal Association of Furniture & Kitchen Retailers (BVDM), the imm cologne Summit will bring together leading figures from the German interior design scene as part of imm cologne 2024. These speakers will provide groundbreaking inspiration and shed light on future prospects for the industry and the retail sector. The interior design industry is facing crucial questions in the age of continuous transformation.
The ongoing slowdown in consumer spending due to Germany’s Building Energy Act, inflation and the geopolitical situation has caused huge challenges for the furniture industry. How can the sector prepare itself for the future? What innovative concepts will lead to success in a dynamic market environment? And, most importantly, how can these ideas be implemented effectively?
These and other pressing questions will be the focus of the imm cologne Summit. Devoted to “Prospects for the interior design industry”, the event will be hosted from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on 16 January 2024 in the Congress Centre East on the grounds of Koelnmesse.

– Flos illuminated ‘The Reading Room’ by Formafantasma at the Stockholm Furniture Fair –
Flos, has collaborated with Formafantasma and Stockholmsmässan last February on the occasion of Stockholm Furniture Fair, the largest and most important meeting place for furniture- and lighting design and interior architecture in Sweden.
Honouring its long-lasting relationship with the studio founded by Italian designers Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin – Guests of Honor at this year’s show, Flos illuminated The Reading Room, a site-specific installation designed by the duo for the Entrance Hall. A clean, impressive array of iconic WireLine pendant lamps in a forest green finish perfectly match the space design concept.
The meaningful synergy between Flos and Formafantasma – based on shared values, commitment and research – has been expressed through the years not only in product design but also in collaborations for special installations in art and design shows or leading trade fairs, as in the case of The Reading Room: a quiet space where visitors could sit, read and reflect.
