After presentations in Munich and Berlin, the next port of call for Architect@Work is Düsseldorf: From December 2-3, 2015 in the customarily relaxed atmosphere visitors can discover high-quality and diverse product innovations while brand manufacturers present their services. Those wishing to swap ideas and interact with colleagues can do so in a lounge specially installed for that purpose.

The emphasis is on wood as a sustainable construction material, with the special show “Voll.HOLZ” featuring over 150 exhibits providing ample inspiration.
