WORKSHOP OF DREAMS CELEBRATES AMERICAN HARDWOOD
The American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) is showcasings its approach to hardwood at interzum through the initiative ‘The Workshop of Dreams’: four unique pieces by Spanish designers and architects. The AHEC is showing the four pieces in Germany for the fi rst time. The project brings together four of Spain’s most innovative architects and designers with inspiring talents in an exciting collaboration that celebrates creativity and craftsmanship in wood. The resulting unique mix of
objects – a beautiful set of coffee tables, a completely ergonomic lounge chair, an extraordinary kitchen cart and an unusual design concept for a portable cabin – effectively demonstrate the vast capability and beauty of some of the lesser known American hardwoods. The AHEC space at interzum will also feature a scale model of ‘The Smile’, the revolutionary timber pavilion AHEC created in collaboration with Alison Brooks Architects and engineers Arup in London.
KOELNMESSE TAKES OVER ZOW EVENT
With interzum, and by aquiring ZOW, Koelnmesse now offers two exciting platforms for the furniture industry covering both international and regional markets. With this acquisition, Koelnmesse further expands its position as the leading exhibition organiser for furniture and interior design. The Supplier Fair Ostwestfalen will shift towards a biennial cycle with ZOW 2018 as the fair’s next edition. Every two years interzum offers a comprehensive overview of global trends in material and
design for the furniture production industry. Consequently, ZOW will now be positioned as a special format somewhere between exhibition event and business meeting. “The
furniture supply industry
requires fresh trade fair concepts that fi t the individual needs of regional, national and global markets. “In my opinion there are no other
events capable of giving as important economic and innovative impetus to
the industry as interzum and
ZOW,” explained Gerald Böse, CEO of Koelnmesse.
