As we gear up for IMM Cologne 2024, we are thrilled to offer a sneak peek into the new elements that will redefine trends in the coming year.
Vibrant Colors: A Symphony of Modern Tones
Our design team has added some exciting new colors this year, including the eye-catching Cheese Series. These colors are not just trendy, they also have personality.
The Cheese Series offers a range of playful and sophisticated shades that can transform any space.
Each color has its own unique story that can captivate and energize your surroundings.
Stability Redefined: Triangular and Trapezoidal Leg Frame
You must know the triangular structure is the most stable structure in the world.
Our designs use this structure on the leg frame. The concept of strength in furniture design is no longer just about stability. It’s a philosophy that has been redefined to encompass much more. Our triangular leg frame is not just a support system, but an architectural masterpiece. It’s designed to be both modern and long-lasting, providing stability without sacrificing style.
Our trapezoidal leg frame is another testament to our design prowess. It takes stability to new heights, transforming your furniture into impeccable pieces of contemporary elegance that stand out as statements of style.
Circular Elegance: Roundness in Table Design
Our latest collection brings elegance in a circular form. The round table tops are delicately framed, redefining sophistication. These designs blend the purity of circular surfaces with stylish frames, creating an artistic centerpiece that transforms dining into an experience.
The round table tops create a sense of inclusivity, inviting conversations and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. They are not just tables but focal points, representing a convergence of form and function.
Artistry in Stitching: H-Shape and Irregular Lines on Dining Chairs
We’re excited to introduce new stitching designs for our dining chairs. These designs are more than just about looks; they show a high level of skill and attention to detail. Except the previous vertical stitching or diamond stitching, we also developed the H-shape stitching and irregular line stitching. Those designs add not only a touch of sophistication to the product but also a playful charm. Each stitch is like a brushstroke on the canvas of the dining area, creating a unique piece of art.
Rustic Chic: Trendy Fabric and Color Harmony
Introducing a palette of rustic colors and trendy fabrics that breathe life into your spaces. This collection goes beyond aesthetics, offering breathable and sumptuously tactile fabrics. The Rustic Color Series, inspired by earthy tones and natural textures, brings warmth and comfort into your surroundings. Imagine sinking into a sofa draped in these fabrics, each touch evoking a sense of tranquility. The precise matching of colors is not only about creating a visually appealing environment but also about generating a vibe that resonates with contemporary sensibilities.
Woven Wonders: Contemporary Rattans Unveiled
Are you interested in the woven chair? Previously, we discussed it in an article, click here to go to it.
This year, we have more ideas and observations about this material. Ready to step into the future with our newly woven rattans?
Our new design is beautifully crafted with a strong and flexible braided cord. It has comfortable cushions in the same color as the chair, providing a unique look and feel.
This isn’t just about sitting; it’s about experiencing the harmony between tradition and contemporary design. The newly woven rattans bring a sense of natural grace into any living space.
Picture the interplay of light and shadow on the intricate patterns of the braided cord, creating a visual spectacle that transcends ordinary seating.
New Marble Magic: Ink-Style Marble-Textured
Tabletops While marble is a common material in furniture, we use a new element on it — a marble-textured tabletop with an ink-style pattern. The pattern on the surface of the marble looks like a story that has been carved into the stone. These tables have a luxurious feel when paired with pure white glass. They stand out as elegant and beyond ordinary.
Coffee Table Elegance: Bar Glass Grain
For coffee tables, we present the Bar Glass Grain collection featuring high-quality thick glass. Besides this, we also provide smoky glass, painting glass, and marble pattern glass, it will give different visuals through different types of glass. Also, in order to enhance the durability and aesthetic of the coffee table set, we added an extra frame — circle frame. Trust me, it will make your eyes shine.
The story behind product development.
Petal Power:
You may not have seen many table bases in the shape of a flower petal before, but at imm Cologne, you will find one. It’s a beautiful, round table with a support base in the shape of a flower petal. This design breaks away from the traditional column and brings a playful and lively touch to it. The base seamlessly connects each petal in the middle with clean craftsmanship visible in a single line.
Micro Cement:
This year, U-LIKE newly developed a material called micro-cement, whose development inspiration, according to the description of the product director, starts from the mid-year visit to Europe by a group of the U-LIKE product team. In September, our team set off from China and traveled along the route of UK-France-Holland-Belgium-Germany-Poland for product research and customer visits.
From there, they sensed the connection between the various markets and came up with more ideas and inspirations. Based on the fact that this year’s interior furniture products are becoming more popular in texture, our team accidentally discovered a material called “Beton” while attending a furniture fair in Belgium. The combination of rustic quality and natural color greatly attracted us and shocked us. After returning to China, we visited the major factories and developed an exclusive material with a cement texture.
Micro Cement, as the name suggests, is a semi-solid cement made of fine sand, which combines the rough and delicate together, embodying a special texture. As a natural texture material, it is not similar to the previous melamine material or spray paint. This material not only embodies the texture of cement but also blends perfectly and subtly with all kinds of low-saturation colors for a high-end look.
Luckily, you will be able to see and touch it in our booth at imm cologne.
