With the 2024 edition just passed, we have collected the can't-miss product releases from German furniture trade fair IMM Cologne. Modularity, craftsmanship and volumetric construction are uniting themes among this range of lighting, seating and more.
Fragile
Marset
Jaume Ramírez’s Fragile design for Marset iterates upon the archetypal table light. Streamlined glass cone and sphere forms encompass a cylinder emitting ambient illumination, evoking oil lamps or candles.
All Together
Bruhl
Striking an architectural and organic look at the same time, All Together is a modular range of furnishings for organizing flexible meeting zones. In the Bruhl collection are armchairs, corner and sofa elements, open-ends, stools and tables, and a curved accent armchair.

Haumea Convex
Eloa
A pairing to Eloa’s asteroid-like Haumea Amorph lights, the Haumea Convex design is defined by outward curves, a crystalline surface and milky colour gradients. The otherworldly series includes a table lamp, pendant lamp and a Statix floor lamp.
118 Fine Dining
Thonet
The 118 Fine Dining Chair from Thonet, conceived by Sebastian Herkner, augments the storied brand’s Offenbach product family. Constructed from beech wood – with the option for canework, upholstered or monochrome plywood seats – the profile boasts clean lines, crafted especially for fine dining environments.
Loya
Leolux
Celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, Dutch furniture company Leolux collaborated with Studio Truly Truly on a new collection, Loya. Embodying the designers’ principle of ‘soft mass’, the sofa composes linear geometries for an inviting, comfortable experience. Freestanding divans, two footstools and various add-on elements are part of the Loya spread.
GBMODULAR
GandiaBlasco
100 per cent recyclable, GandiaBlasco’s GBModular furniture system gives rise to myriad pieces for indoors and out. Characterized by minimal industrial elements, the furniture utilizes the tongue-and-groove method of construction, all based on a single silhouette that José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales conceived. The latest expansion incorporates textile upholstery.
CINA
Girsberger
Suited for reception and communal areas, as well as private spaces, Girsberger’s Cina lounge chair by Sebastian Herkner is fully mobile, with a leather handle on its rear and integrated castors. The soft upholstery and sculptural backrest encompass a sitter, at once supportive and nurturing.
OMNIA
Prostoria
A volumetric backrest and armrests give way to an ergonomic line with Prostoria’s Omnia armchair. The Neisako-designed piece focuses on elegant transitional shapes, with an optional connector/sideboard element and a rectangular arrangement adding possibilities for use.
CROSS PERSONAL 15
Technogym
Fitness, sport and health brand Technogym teamed up with designer Antonio Citterio to develop the Personal Line, a set of exercise equipment championing refined materials and craftsmanship. Citterio’s treadmill, bike, recline, elliptical, Kinesis and Power Station come together to create a full home gym in line with contemporary design.

L01 Sofa
Volker VVeiss Outdoor
Volker VVeiss Outdoor is introducing cushions for its L01 sofa series, which provide a more casual and lounge-like profile. The large upholstered additions – continuous 2-seater and 3-seater seat cushions in fresh colours – visually balance L01’s hot-dip galvanized steel base and are totally weatherproof.
SHERU EVO
Walter Knoll
Conceptualized by EOOS, Walter Knoll’s Sheru Evo chair builds upon the company Sheru design, with a commitment to evolution. The new foam-less model gives people the ability to effortlessly change the seat’s covers, which are cut from comfort mesh fabric. The separable elements also make the chair easy to recycle at the end of its life.
ECHO
Cor
Cor’s Echo line comprises side tables with so-called stems of different sizes. The bases are covered in fabric or leather, while the tabletops are glass with lacquered undersides, reflecting the chosen surroundings. Lined by a fabric edge, they can be removed for seamless cleaning.
