Koelnmesse has successfully promoted the world of design for 19 years – now it’s time to take the Pure Talents Contest in a new direction. In order to steer the design competition into the future and address the challenges that lie ahead, it’s important that we adapt the concept and send out a strong sign that change is here – and that imm cologne in January 2024 is changing too.
Koelnmesse’s Pure Talents Contest celebrates outstanding design and promotes talented creatives who are shaping the future. The aim of the competition is to find promising designers who will have a lasting impact on global issues and the interior design industry.
Three themes have been chosen
Lifestyle and home living in cities with limited space
Lifestyle and home living in a circular society
Lifestyle and home living as a statement/message/concept
One winner for each of the themes will be selected by the jury and will receive prize money of Euro 1,000.
