Das Haus 2022: visions of home for today

In 2022, the imm cologne’s successful design event series Das Haus will be celebrating its 10th anniversary. In honour of this special occasion, visitors to the Cologne furniture and interiors fair can look forward to an apartment house featuring forward-looking examples of new options for urban living: das Apartment HAUS.

Several former Das Haus designers have been invited to create the special anniversary edition: Luca Nichetto, Sebastian Herkner and Studio Truly Truly will all be involved with the format’s conceptual and creative development. In addition, Stefan Diez will be staging his vision of a Future Kitchen. Two additional branded apartments will complete this holistic event installation, ensuring that visitors to imm cologne 2022 will find a wealth of inspiration and ideas for how we will be living in the future.

2022: urban living concept for long or short stay apartments

Today the place we call home is perceived as an overarching part of our lives that encompasses both the need to retreat and social activities, indoors and outdoors, entertainment and home working. However, integrating the home office into the traditional living environment isn’t the only challenge that the interiors industry will face in future; the sector will also have to develop models for “a new way of living” that seek to provide solutions for urban densification.

Das Apartment HAUS 2022

Das Haus celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2022 with a special edition: Das Apartment HAUS. With a total of four apartments as well as communal areas - designed by former house designers Luca Nichetto, Sebastian Herkner and Studio Truly Truly - Das Apartment HAUS is intended to produce contemporary concepts that enable temporary living in a mixture of private sphere and protected communal space.

Das Haus 2017 by Todd Bracher

What do we need to live? The design by Todd Bracher, with which the US designer surprised the visitors of the imm cologne 2017 can be reduced down to this simple question. Especially since they still could recall last year’s “Das Haus” with its very different design that confused the senses – full of colours, scents, textile haptics, round in shape, transparent and open on all sides. Whereas Sebastian Herkner demonstrated sensual indulgence recently, Todd Bracher is limiting himself down to the essentials.

Das Haus 2016 by Sebastian Herkner

This edition of “Das Haus – Interiors on Stage” stands in bold contrast with not only the compact installation from Neri&Hu at the last imm cologne, but in fact also with all living conventions. It is circular, more or less transparent and has almost no solid wall elements. Nonetheless, Sebastian Herkner’s house promises to be a sensual experience – a house that is soft and aromatic, colourful and communicative, and which is able to change its form like a chameleon.

Das Haus 2015 by Neri&Hu

imm cologne’s “Das Haus” has never possessed such imposing architectural force. Last year, the visitor was invited into the interior of Louise Campbell’s “Haus”, a country-house-like, Scandinavian-cosy space. This year, the installation by the Chinese architect couple Rossana Hu and Lyndon Neri affects the beholder more like a challenge to be overcome. And that’s exactly what “Das Haus” 2015 by Neri&Hu is meant to be – a challenge.

Das Haus 2014 by Louise Campbell

koelnmesse has nominated Danish designer Louise Campbell to create “Das Haus – Interiors on Stage 2014”. At the international interior design fair imm cologne in January 2014, she will be building a low-tech house as an open space for flexible use in which the furniture merely serves to symbolise basic functions. For the Dane, flexibility, comfort and scope for creativity are the most important requirements an ideal home should satisfy.

Das Haus 2013 by Luca Nichetto

What possibilities do we have for enhancing the way we live? There are technological approaches, sustainability concepts, social and multicultural utopias and ideals. And, since 14th January 2013, there has been an experiment on the idea of green living too: the “Das Haus – Interiors on Stage” installation at the current imm cologne, this year designed for the international furniture fair by Luca Nichetto. In his design, the Venetian focuses on solutions intended to enable occupants to live in direct co-existence with nature.

Das Haus 2012 by Doshi Levien

Who says modern everyday life and sensuousness have to be at odds with one another? The “Das Haus – Interiors on Stage” installation by Doshi Levien at the imm cologne 2012 aims to furnish evidence to the contrary and launches the new event concept at the fair. In an installation that is visionary not just at architectural level but in creative terms as well, the design experiment is developing into a fascinating study on modern ways of living.
