IMM Cologne 2010 Furniture Design Trends – What’s Out?

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

As the authority on latest fads in modern furniture design, last month’s IMM Cologne also delineated a few contemporary furniture trends that are on their way out of consumer’s homes either because of changing domestic necessities or in lieu of up and coming trends that replace them with more attractive dispositions.  Primarily driven by the global financial crisis, the change in trends is meant to make the home more sufficient, its furniture better utilized and the living space maximized.

Small dining tables were functional when not used as often, now are being replaced with modern extension dining tables that give more freedom and capacity to entertain at home.  With a wide variety of easily maneuverable, ergonomic modern extension tables, dining at home has become conventional.  Manufacturers like Tonin Casa, Cattelan Italia, and Bontempi Casa offer a great selection of extension dining tables with glass or wood tops.

Sofa, loveseat & chair sets used to be the norm when setting up living room or family décor, however, with increasing selection of sectionals, chaise lounges and accent chairs, living spaces acquired a sense of efficiency and space maximization where more people can sit comfortably using less furniture pieces.  See Gamma leather furniture as well as Incanto leather collection for ideas on how to maximize your seating arrangements.
