“The Smart segment is in fact the highest sales segment of IMM Cologne,” Arne Petersen, Vice President Trade Fair Management of Koelnmesse, states in the press release.
One of the most innovative and successful highlights of the Smart segment is young living trends.
Often staying in urban centers and limited by space and budgets, young people are eager to express themselves and look for original, fashionable and functional items at fair prices.
At this year’s fair (18-24 January 2016) Polish designer Vox and Swiss furniture creator Modular, suggest clever and practical furniture that may be extended with new elements, as it consists of modules and fits well in small interiors.
Danish furniture maker, Hammel, presents its Mistral line, easy-to-assemble multifunctional storage furniture. Customers may even create their individual configuration. Watch the video below to see more on the new line.
Faithful to ecological innovation that is very ‘in’ these days, Italian designer Composad uses 100% recycled wood panels with the lowest glue emissions for its modular furniture lines.
Among other brands offering their thoughts on young living, KARE Design highlights the need for nature and nonchalance. The brand plays with patterns, fresh colors and varied surfaces of wood, metal and leather.
Oh, to be young again!
