The Best of IMM Cologne 2018

The IMM Cologne annual exhibition showcases contemporary furniture and interior design, as well as innovative fabrics, finishes and lighting. The Cologne Furniture Fair was first held in 1949, since the late 90’s Cologne City has also held several events in alongside IMM including Cologne Design Week and Interior Design Week. The first furniture show of the year consistently throws up the latest and greatest designs from a wide range of manufacturer. With some great stands from the likes of Thonet, Cor and Wittmann as well as some newcomers to the industry, 2018 was no disappointment. We’ve pulled together our favourite pieces in a single downloadable presentation and pulled out 10 of the best bits (below) for your consideration.
