Intent
IMM Cologne 2026 is an international trade exhibition for the furniture and interior design industry. It brings together companies and professionals to showcase market-ready interior products and solutions. The event is commercial and not structured as a design competition.
Purpose
The exhibition provides a platform for the global furniture and interior design market. It covers a wide range of interior products, furniture, and related categories. The focus is on industry networking, business relationships, sourcing, and trend exposure rather than critical design evaluation.
Requirements
Exhibitors must register, book booth space, and pay participation fees based on the area and optional services. The event is oriented toward market-ready products and industry buyers. There are no requirements for submitting conceptual design projects or juried work.

Conclusion and Final Thoughts
IMM Cologne 2026 is primarily a commercial trade exhibition for the furniture and interior design sector. It emphasizes exhibitor visibility, networking, and industry exposure rather than design evaluation or awards. Professionals seeking critical design assessment or judged recognition will find the format limited, as the event is focused on market exchange and showcasing products.
