What does “being at home” mean to you?
Take a picture of your home and win a piece of German furniture design and a trip to Cologne for the imm Cologne 2020 fair!
Yes guys italianbark in August is as always on a break for summer (I already told you in this last post about this traveling August, about where I am now and about my holiday plans), but I am quickly jumping here to share a big opportunity for you. I am sure you will be as excited as I am for this!
As you may know, I have been visiting the imm cologne fair for the last two years. By being the very first interior and furniture fair of the year, the imm cologne fair is the perfect place where to discover the latest news and to spot the upcoming trends, so it has became a fixed appointment for me.
Next year, the fair will take place from 13 January to 19 January in Cologne. The good news is that this year the German Furniture Design Association is giving now the chance to you to visit this beautiful event and to win other amazing prizes. Including some beautiful pieces of German furniture design.
