During imm cologne, when the cathedral city becomes a hotspot for creative interior design from all over the world, the winners of this year's ICONIC AWARDS: Innovative Interior competition are to be found at Kölnischer Kunstverein. The curated exhibition of award-winning models, including the Nenou furniture concept in the "Furniture – Best of Best" category from COR, opens on 13 January. In collaboration with Swiss designer Jörg Boner, the modern archetype for new spatial topographies has been created. Various upholstery elements in leaf form (nenúfar, Spanish for water lily) serve as easy chairs, poufs, upholstered benches or tables. They can be arranged as homely islands or – spanning several rooms – in smaller colonies. The aesthetically unconventional furniture concept can be employed in any architectural environment. It already caused quite a stir in Milan in the spring of 2019. As a double premiere for Cologne, Nenou will be shown up to 19 January at Kunstverein and at the trade fair in Hall 11.3, Stand ST10/TU19.
