The most vivid and unusual with the Cologne furniture exhibition: Part 2

Today you will find the second part of the report fromInternational Cologne Furniture Fair. Bright colors, fashionable shapes, new trends, as well as interesting and rare brands in our country - you will learn about all this from our article. The impressions of the second day of visiting the exhibition turned out to be motley. Decent business-class brands were mixed with designer brands, and stands in monochromatic colors were interspersed with bright displays. And, if at first the Cologne exhibition seemed to us too emasculated in style and color, now we have already seen all of its diversity. For those who know the Italian factory Natuzzi, it will certainly be clear why we went to its stand. Because of their famous recliners, on which, even in 15 minutes, you can perfectly rest, relax and gain strength. Recliners are reclining chairs with a small leg attachment. The peculiarity of the mechanism is that it does not automatically recline the back to a certain angle, but leans under the pressure of the back just as much as your back needs at the moment. Tried three recliners and made sure that the biggest - the most convenient. Still really liked the bed with a leather-covered base. The company Vita Copenhagen has issued its stand very unusual: the lamps were exposed against the background of photo wallpapers with birches and in a small cute trailer. It turned out that the stand of the Dutch company Leolux,about which we spoke in the previous report, is not the brightest at the exhibition. The stand of the German brand Bretz is brighter several times. Here groups of upholstered furniture were collected in colors: emerald green with turquoise, orange-red, lemon-yellow and buffy. There was probably not a single person who would pass by this stand. It was the most popular stand for Selfie. According to the editors, such cheerful furniture should be placed in the room of a teenager and in the lounge zone. Good mood is provided. Another bright stand of the exhibition is the exposition of the Italian manufacturer Twils. The furniture is comfortable and cozy. Uveis Heydarov, "Kitchen Interiors":“This year, the colors of the upholstery of upholstered furniture have become much brighter. Combinations unusual for Europe appeared. Some of them are more similar to tropical ones like green, blue-green, light green shades; and some have a pronounced oriental flavor: turquoise and emerald; turmeric and saffron; pomegranate and curry. Conservative colors are closer to me, I have always tended to classic colors: dark blue, dark gray, coffee shades, natural wood colors; bright colors in my understanding could look annoying. But this year the exhibition surprised me: the bright colors in the expositions were chosen in such a way as not to irritate, but rather to harmonize. By the way, Leicht kitchens, which are presented in our salon, have been offering bright colors for a couple of years: deep blue, persimmon and mustard. Of course, the percentage of purchases of furniture in bright colors is small, but at the same time it should be noted that it grows from year to year, that is, people begin to love the color, feel the need for it, which means they begin to trust themselves and treat the interior as something personal, expressing their attitude. " Take a look at this leather furniture. It is produced by the Machalke factory. Looks delicious? It seems to us that the smell of leather and its warmth is transmitted even through photographs. And if we are talking about factories,specializing in leather furniture, we will show you two more stands of the best manufacturers in their field. Baxter is a brand that everyone who has ever seen their leather sofas goes crazy for. The brand's success lies in the impeccable mix of classics, modern style, convenience of models and trendy details. Surprisingly, despite their expensive level, Baxter sofas are often bought by what is called a spontaneous decision: came, saw, wanted, bought. While most of the furniture of such a high level, people buy after long deliberation and comparisons. One of the most amazing exhibits of the exhibitionbecame the armchair DS-373 of the famous Swiss manufacturer of leather furniture De Sede. The creator of this chair, the designer Alfredo Häberli, bought a couple of years ago on a flea market a figurine of an elephant, covered with leather. It turned out that the elephant was covered with one whole piece of skin. And the designer Alfredo Häberli has lighted up to make a chair, which will also be covered with a piece of leather. The technologists of the De Sede factory supported him. It was incredibly difficult to realize, especially though the skin was chosen not simple, but very thick, 8 mm thick. Two of the most famous designer brands in Italy -Driade and Valcucine were exposed this time together. The result is stunning! Driade presented its new collection - Portable Atelier, created for them by the designer Philippe Nigro in the collaboration with Moleskine. Valcucine showed two new kitchens: Genius Loci and Forma Mentis, created by the designer Gabriele Centazzo. The idea of Genius Loci is a kitchen as a secretor, in which everything is very compact and understandably located. At the stand of the legendary Swiss company Vitraeditorial board most liked the "White Collection", created by Roman and Ivan Burullekami, as well as Jasper Morrison. Items from this collection can be used for interior as well as for street. They will look great in the garden or on the terrace. One of the most stylish stands of the exhibition editionwould call the stand of the Italian factory Fridgerio. Here the eyes rested on the full: the colors of the emerald, beryl and topaz in the decoration of the walls were harmoniously combined with the furniture from natural wood and with beautiful metal accessories of various shades: from copper to brass. There is a trendy design, there is a classic design, there is a design for every day. The design of the items produced by the Italian factory Galotti & Radice can be called elegant, refined and timeless.
