Arne Petersen, Vice President Trade Fair Management of Koelnmesse comments on the registration status: “With this result we are following on in the same fashion as with the last edition of imm cologne. The figures with regards to international participation are particularly satisfying. Here we are seeing double-digit growth.

Anyone wanting to be successful with furniture simply cannot afford to ignore Germany and imm cologne, the biggest event in this market”, Petersen continues. LivingInteriors, the event for innovative bathroom and room concepts is also eagerly awaited.
