SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 20, 2024 – WALTER KNOLL, OBJECT CARPET, SATTLER, and ZIMMER + ROHDE, four premium manufacturers, are joining forces to showcase their combined expertise at ORGATEC 2024 in Cologne. Together, they will present extraordinary modern working and living environments in a visually stunning trade fair setting.
A Collaborative Vision
The four family businesses, each a leader in its respective field, will introduce trendsetting designs, environmentally friendly materials, and sustainable solutions for the contemporary office. Their joint presentation, themed "Create, craft, connect," is already generating excitement in the lead-up to ORGATEC.
An Innovative Stand Design
The stand design, conceived by the Ippolito Fleitz Group, envisions the theme of "new work" from a fresh perspective. The collaboration between the four manufacturers will result in impactful spatial scenarios and groundbreaking inspirations for modern workspaces.
Textiles and Light Take Center Stage
The architecture of the exhibition stand, spanning 840 square meters, will feature a striking interplay of textiles and light, creating a floating effect. Overlapping circular spaces will form an architectural whole with individual rooms and intersections, a central open marketplace, and separate themed areas.
Sustainable Practices
The four companies share a commitment to sustainability, which is reflected not only in their products but also in the design of the exhibition stand. The furniture, curtains, carpets, and lighting used in the stand will be reused after the trade fair, and structural elements are mostly rented. Special constructions were kept to a minimum and consist of recycled and recyclable wooden panels.
Product Highlights
WALTER KNOLL will present a collection of floating textiles, colors, light, and shapes, showcasing new products and innovations that embody the company's values and craftsmanship.
OBJECT CARPET will bring sustainable quality to the floor with its unique, recyclable carpets that can be returned to the product cycle without any waste.
SATTLER GmbH will showcase innovative lighting solutions, including the PURE MOTION moving luminaire and the glare-free PALADIO FLOOR lamp.
ZIMMER + ROHDE will present new furnishing textiles, including a sun-protection fabric with reflective properties and a softly flowing blackout curtain with a two-tone, double-faced look.
A Holistic Approach to Office Design
The joint exhibition stand will offer a comprehensive overview of office design solutions, from carpets and furniture to textiles and lighting. The four brands will showcase their individual strengths while also demonstrating their ability to create a unified and inspiring workspace.
