What was indicated in the preparations is now being realized: interzum 2007 will once again live up to its reputation in all respects as the world's leading trade fair for the furniture industry's and interior design sector's suppliers. From 9th to 12th May 2007, the Cologne exhibition halls will be transformed into a genuine spectacle of innovations, the first indications of this were already evident in the entries submitted by the exhibitors for the interzum Award and Hit guide. Many exhibitors have announced that they will be presenting their worldwide new products and innovations for the first time at interzum.
