DOORS. A HARMONIOUS, COHERENT OVERALL PICTURE IS EMERGING IN INTERPLAY WITH NATURE. THE ARRAY RANGES FROM POWERFUL AND FRESH TO MUTED AND DARK SHADES. AND SINCE GREEN CAN BE NICELY COMBINED WITH MANY OTHER COLOURS, THE LOOK CAN BE SKILFULLY PEPPED UP: IT SHINES OUT WHEN COMBINED WITH YELLOW, BECOMES SOFTER WITH PINK AND BLUE LENDS IT ALL A MARITIME APPEARANCE. OF COURSE, THE GARDEN WOULDN'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT THE CLASSIC SHADES WHITE, GREY, BROWN AND BLACK. SO WE DO HOPE THAT THIS

COLOUR OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH HOPE WILL BE A PROMISE IN OUR DIFFICLT TIMES, IN TEAM WITH ITS ASSOCIATED NUANCES.

URBAN GARDENING IS THE BUZZWORD THAT DESCRIBES TOMATOES, RED PEPPERS AND STRAWBERRIES GROWING ON BALCONIES, ROOF TERRACES AND IN BACK YARDS.

SEASON 2017/18 AT THE WORLD'S LARGEST GARDEN FAIR, SPOGA+GAFA, WHICH IS BEING STAGED IN COLOGNE FROM 3 TO 5 SEPTEMBER 2017.

TOP TREND 2017/18: CITY OUTDOORS IS BECOMING SOPHISTICATED - MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE MOVING TO THE CITIES. INSTEAD OF A SMALL HOUSE IN THE SUBURBS, IN ADDITION TO YOUNG PEOPLE MORE AND MORE HIGH-INCOME EARNERS ARE OPTING FOR THE PULSATING CITY LIFESTYLE. AND THEY NOT ONLY WANT TO FURNISH THEIR A PA R T M E N T UPCLASS AND STYLISHLY, BUT

ALSO THEIR BALCONY. THAT IS WHY THERE IS A LARGE SELECTION OF PRODUCTS FOR THE SUMMER SEASON 2017/18 THAT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS THIS TARGET GROUP. HERE THE FOCUS IS ON DESIGN-ORIENTED OUTDOOR FURNITURE THAT CAN BE VARIABLY IMPLEMENTED, CONSTANTLY REARRANGED IN NEW CONSTELLATIONS AND STOWED AWAY IN A SPACE-SAVING MANNER. THEY HAVE A LIGHT, DAINTY APPEARANCE AND ARE MADE OF STYLISH MATERIALS THAT ARE HARDLY DISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE INDOOR VERSIONS. THE SOPHISTICATED BALCONY WORLD IS ROUNDED OFF BY COMPACT SUNSHADES, CARPETS AND

MULTIFUNCTION IS THE TRUMP CARD THE DAYS WHEN THE OUTDOOR SOFA WAS USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR SITTING ON ARE LONG GONE. NOT LEAST DUE TO THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF SPACE ON BALCONIES AND TERRACES, MULTIFUNCTIONAL FURNITURE IS NOW INCREASINGLY CONQUERING THE SUMMER LIVINGROOM. THE MANUFACTURERS ARE CONVINCING WITH PLENTY OF CREATIVITY AND ARE OFFERING TRUE QUICK-CHANGE ARTISTS. IN THIS WAY, AT THE FLICK OF A WRIST A LOUNGER BECOMES A BENCH OR A DAYBED BECOMES A

SOFA WITH A TABLE. STOOLS CAN ALSO BE USED AS A SIDE TABLE, SUNSHADES OFFER LIGHT AND HEATING FUNCTIONS AND PLANT POTS PROVIDE ADDITIONAL STORAGE SPACE. THE BARBECUE MANUFACTURERS ARE AT THE VERY FOREFRONT. IN THE MEANTIME THEIR MODELS CAN SMOKE, ROAST AND BAKE AS WELL AS OFFERING SPECIAL FEATURES SUCH AS LED LAMPS AND POWER BANK COMPATIBILITY.

THINGS ARE GETTING COMFORTABLE HIGH SPENDING POWER, QUALITY-CONSCIOUS AND GROWING - THIS DESCRIBES THE TARGET GROUP OF THE BEST AGERS. ACCORDING TO THE EXPERTS EVERY SECOND EURO SPENT IN GERMANY IS SPENT BY SOMEONE OVER 50.

HENCE, AT THE MOMENT HIGH-QUALITY FURNITURE THAT EXCELS WITH COMFORT-PROVIDING ASPECTS IS CONQUERING THE OUTDOOR STAGE. THE SELECTION RANGES FROM ERGONOMICALLY SHAPED, HIGH CHAIR SEATS FOR BACKFRIENDLY SITTING AND LYING, TO SUNSHADES THAT ARE OPERATED PER FOOT SWITCH, THROUGH TO PLANT POTS THAT ALLOW EASY PLANTING. IMPORTANT HERE: THE APPEARANCE AND DESIGN LANGUAGE OF THE PRODUCTS ARE CHIC AND MODERN. SO THEY DON'T JUST ADDRESS THE BEST AGERS, BUT

INDEED EVERYONE, WHO LIKES IT COMFORTABLE. COLOUR TREND: EVERYTHING IS GREEN - THAT GETS EVERYONE IN THE SUMMER MOOD: GREEN IS THE COLOUR OF THE YEAR.
