interzum 2025
Thank you for a successful interzum 2025!
From May 20 to 23, 2025, we rethought the surface world of tomorrow together with you at interzum in Cologne – Hall 6.1, Booth C048/D049. Our booth was much more than a classic product showcase – it became a hub for fresh ideas, new perspectives, and inspiring encounters across traditional industry boundaries.
Under the motto connext – Together for surfaces of the future, we welcomed numerous guests and networked with them, connected with partners old and new, and discussed the future of surfaces together. The connext_talks and personal exchanges at eye level made our stand a lively place.
We would like to thank all visitors for the stimulating discussions, the great interest, and the many valuable impulses. Together, we are committed to continuing the path toward a sustainable and connected future.
Let’s shape what’s possible tomorrow – together.

Sustainable trend colors - Colors that Stay
Are trends the enemy of sustainability? Much of what is considered innovative today is often just new for the sake of being new. But what if we were to combine the creative new with the tried and tested - to create something timeless, meaningful and trendy at the same time?
With “Colors that Stay”, we presented our approach to sustainable trend colors at interzum 2025 - including our new Color Report 2026+. This combines inspiring trend stories with long-lasting color compositions that conserve resources and are economically viable.
Join us in breaking new ground in collection development - together we will design collections that are more sustainable, smarter and more successful.

New Perspectives on Sustainable Surfaces
For a long time, surfaces were considered premium if they were flawless, reproducible, and highly functional. But with the growing importance of sustainability, these criteria need to be redefined.
At interzum 2025, we showcased three development projects that demonstrate how sustainability, functionality, and design can be brought into balance. These projects represent a new standard in material aesthetics – ecologically responsible and design-driven.
Which sustainable surface will we develop with you? Let’s start the dialogue – and create solutions together.
connext_talks: Perspectives, impulses and valuable exchange
Our connext_talks at interzum 2025 provided an inspiring platform for dialog between design, sustainability and industry. In moderated panel discussions, experts from a wide range of different areas came together to share perspectives, challenge developments and think ahead together.
Many thanks to all participants for their openness, curiosity and for thinking outside the box together.
We will be sharing more insights from the two connext_talks shortly.
