idd cologne event 2025 – Embracing a bold urban vision for interior design
To enforce the ambition of turning interior design into a truly holistic experience, idd cologne has come up with an idea of a purely urban concept. This idea was developed in close coordination with the Association of the German Furniture Industry (VDM) and leading industry partners. By taking this urban approach, it will be possible to capture the dynamics of the city more precisely and take inspiring interior design ideas to the locations in which they find their most vivid expression. As a result, idd cologne event will be able to deliver on its focus on high-quality interior design solutions in the residential, hospitality and contract business segments with exceptional authenticity.
