One great thing about being here in Cologne is the giant exhibition space at Messe Deutz which brings in loads of really cool exhibitions every year. Just being here over 2 months I've seen two awesome exhibitions that have really interesting design-wise. Here are some highlights from the ORGATEC Working Spaces exhibition 2010 I went to last saturday.
These chairs greeted me near the entrance. The look like hard plastic but.... |
...they're actually really squishy and comfortable. I later saw the booth of the manufacturer and the chair is made from a process of coating furniture foam in some kind of plastic. |
This office stationery really reminds me of Apple's Macbook. Their marketing posters were pretty similar to Apple too....Managed to snap this pic right before they said NO PHOTOS. |
Some pretty crazy booth designs! |
A cool multifunctional couch with repositional seat backs and small table element. |
I love red. |
I love red phones. |
I like this clock too. |
This place was just a carpet company, but they had a very exciting booth. |
I love the way their carpet interacts with the environment and objects in their booth design. |
A wall made of chairs! |
Vitra didn't like photos either...but I managed to snap a few.... |
Exploding chair!!! |
Herman Miller had a very organic looking space. |
The walls were stretched fabric! They look so solid! Apparently this is a very popular form of construction for trade fairs and exhibitions. |
The new SAYL chair. |
Herman Miller had the best free food.... |
