A football table as an interior showpiece, a mobile kitchen, furniture hanging from the ceiling and snazzy furnishing items made from waste products - at the coming imm cologne, visitors can see all this and more at a joint booth for young, innovative companies from Germany. The creative show will be presented in Hall 1, where the "European Lifestyles" segment will be showing off its totally new concept for the first time. "European Lifestyles" brings together an exciting mix: quality, highly marketable products on the one hand (such as those that will be on show e.g. in impressive national pavilions from Rumania, Estonia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia) and unusual design pieces on the other, each of which, in its own way, can serve as an ideal sales booster, at least in niche markets. And all of it made in Europe!

It doesn't get any better than this: full halls, the most important players from Germany and abroad and a cornucopia of ideas across all the different segments for furniture buyers from all over the world to pick and choose from – that's the imm cologne. Some of the more than 1,000 exhibitors are already speaking very openly about their expectations of the international furniture and interior design event in January 2013, as well as about the new products they will be showing there for the first time.
