News in Cologne
Leaving aside the re-editions of design classics from the '20s, '60s and '70s, the product innovations presented in Cologne focus around one trend: convergence in the living sector. Just as televisions and computers are converging, furniture is being reinterpreted as an interface through the integration of technology; on the other hand, it enters into a relationship with technology and thus transforms into an interface itself. Furniture almost becomes software and thus experiences a product language that has emerged from communication design. Along comes another important trend: interior design has become a topic for men. When it comes to getting comfortable at home, it is important for them to be networked and well-equipped in terms of media.
Living is bright – on all edges and walls. LED surfaces with various or varying colors can now be found in cupboards, shelves, tubs and showers. Conversely, lamps may now include a seat. Cabinet lights are controlled remotely, the result of integrated electronics. Sophisticated extra features and functions create new and surprising experiences; technology is ubiquitous but hidden. Beds are moved pneumatically, glass panes change from transparent to translucent with the push of a button, and tables shimmer and shine in changing patterns.
