IMM COLOGNE 09






During IMM, Studio Arne Quinze transformed the Dome in Cologne into "die kunstbar" (the art bar). In typical Quinze style, the bar is covered with packing crates normally used to ship artwork. What's behind it stays unrevealed. According to Studio Arne Quinze the wooden boxes are a methaphor for the church not revealing what happens in the church as it is trying to keep hold of its controlling role in society. Like the boxes used to wrap up art, the church wraps up the freedom of the mind.

CREATE YOUR OWN LANGUAGE



We love the new Alphabet modular sofa designed by Piero Lissoni from Fritz Hansen. Inspired by Lego bricks, Lissoni's innovation allows you to create your own language using the "Alphabet" elements.
