Smart: interiors for young people and clever furnishing solutions in halls 7 and 8

Today’s young people love to furnish and rearrange their living spaces. And in Halls 7 and 8 at the next imm cologne, visitors will discover what is currently en vogue when it comes to interiors for young people. The remarkably broad product range of imm cologne’s “Smart” segment features many clever furnishing solutions that help to also make optimal use of living spaces that are not particularly spacious. Maximized storage room is not the only feature appreciated by the first time home-decorators. Attractive, trendy design and consistent quality have been musts in this segment for a long time now. In the meantime, preferences on the individual markets have become more clearly differentiated, so a tremendous variety of colours, shapes and styles can be experienced here.
