How does outdoor furniture work within a space? What connects a lounge with a dining area? And how do individual pieces become a coherent whole? Our presentation at Design Post Cologne brings these relationships into view. The photographs offer a look at an exhibition in which lounge and dining furniture naturally complement one another.
Outdoor living in an architectural setting
With its distinctive steel structure and large windows, Design Post Cologne provides a striking setting for furniture and design. In our presentation, light-coloured upholstery and different seating pieces meet a selection of dining and occasional tables. Colours, shapes and surfaces can be considered together.
The focus is on an outdoor space as a whole: a place to dine, a quiet lounge and small surfaces for everyday essentials can come together as an open-air living area. The display offers ideas for how different pieces of furniture can work alongside one another.
Experiencing materials and proportions in person
In a photograph, the shape of a piece of furniture often catches the eye first. In person, scale, surfaces and the relationship between seating and tables become more tangible. The images from Cologne show these details in context, from the understated upholstery colours to the different table shapes.
For anyone planning an outdoor area, these impressions can help frame the next questions: how much space should the lounge occupy? Which table size suits the seating group? And which colours connect the furniture with its surroundings?
A space for personal encounters
A presentation is also shaped by the people who visit it. Our photographs capture personal encounters among the furniture. The exhibition becomes a place for conversation and for taking a closer look at design.
With these impressions from Design Post, we hope to inspire you to explore outdoor furniture in context. Discover more ideas in our collections. Information about our materials and their care adds a practical perspective to the choice of shape and colour.
