IMM COLOGNE 2020
Stylepark Selected imm cologne 2020

With the Stylepark Selected Award for the imm cologne 2020, Stylepark again honours the best product premieres of the Cologne Design Week. These are the winners.
1/13/2020

In 2020 the Stylepark jury has once again carefully studied all the new product releases at imm cologne before the fair opens its doors to the public, and those judged the most successful have been honored with the Stylepark Selected Award. We believe: You most definitely shouldn’t miss these products when you visit the fair. Among other things, the jury’s selection covers the theme of “outdoors”, which is becoming increasingly important at imm cologne and to which this year’s “Das Haus – Interiors on Stage” is dedicated, as well as the current trend toward microliving.

Baxter

"Jupiter"
Design: Studio Pepe
Hall 11.1, booth B011/A010

Design: Patrick Norguet
Hall 11.2, booth H051

Jury statement: The “DS-175” sofa by Patrick Norguet for de Sede exhibits immense formal discipline, thus providing an ideal stage for the luxuriously treated leather used for the upholstery.

Design: Eugeni Quitllet
Hall 11.1, booth F027/E026

Hall 11.3, booth U029/T020

Jury statement: Berlin-based designer Hanne Willmann, Creative Director at Interlübke, designed “Levi” for the company – a coat rack, mirror, and three-dimensional wall object in one. This makes “Levi” an effective means for combatting bleak hallways.
