(picture:form.bar)
The furniture industry revolutionzes its shopping and producting processes with the support of digital tools. Besides sensor technology and apps for real-life demonstrations, new technologies of augmented reality help the consumers in their decision and even creation process of their homes.

Design and Living Trends from immCologne
Aquarium kitchens, vooking instead of cooking (vooking = vegetarian cooking) as well as wooden textiles – these were trends that I had to reflect whilst visiting the immCologne trade fair this year.
The Picture Vooking is taken from Michael Liebert
Are you still cooking or do you start vooking already?
The new kitchens are either a luxury status symbol or a fancy stylish equipment with functions that you did not know before that you need it. Your fridge is ordering the food for you whilst you are away and your oven starts cooking the lasagne for you when you are still on your way home. Another trend was the especially designed kitchens for vegetarians to celebrate vooking. The kitchen is created for all functions that a vegetarian cook needs. It helps also with an easy cleaning process of all the waste from the vegetables that has occured.
Wooden textiles
A new design style that I was watching with great interest as it seems that it is more an art work than a home accessory, was the wooden textiles from the designer Elisa Strozyk. She uses a kind of wooden mosaic to create plaids which you can use as a wall decoration or as an art work on your sofa.

Is it Art or Architecture? Landmark Projects during Design Trade Fairs
