Wall units reconceived as jigsaw puzzles
The demand for wall units in the coming season focuses less on storage space and more on basic electrical equipment. It must provide space for the Home Entertainment system while avoiding the tangle of cables and retro-fitted cable ducts. This means that wall units continue to become smaller and lighter but equipped for far more technology than before.

“My favourite colour is multi-coloured”

(And this is my favorite bit!!)

The colour white will still be available for furniture but is on the decline. Bright colours and a wide variety of colours are set to return. We are going to see a lot of blue, violet as well as teal and cyan tones. The whole spectrum of natural tones will play a large role, primarily in the wooden furniture range.

There re thousands of images to view (but unfortunately not through imm!) – best bet, if you want to look at some, is type into Google images “imm cologne living interiors 2014”
