Passagen Cologne 2025: the first time without imm cologne

In 2025, imm cologne is taking a break, leaving many to wonder how this will impact Passagen, Cologne’s celebrated design festival. Passagen 2025 should take place in Cologne from January 10 to 16, 2025, anyway. Festival founder Sabine Voggenreiter addressed these concerns in a recent interview with the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger. “The cancellation of the trade fair will, of course, affect us,” Voggenreiter acknowledged, “especially after the challenging years we faced during the COVID pandemic. However, we’ve since recovered well.”

Design Post Cologne 2024

Design Post, in Cologne, is not quite an event. In fact, it is a permanent showroom, which comes alive at certain, particularly representative trade fairs. Design Post is located at Deutz-Mülheimer-Strasse 22a in Cologne, so exactly opposite the halls of Koelnmesse. This is a forward-looking location that allows companies to have a permanent showroom, and attract trade fair visitors to the adjacent halls. In addition, Design Post, carved out of a Post Office building, is a particularly striking and attractive location with post-industrial architecture.
