From May 20 to 23, 2025, Cologne hosted Interzum 2025, one of the world’s leading trade fairs for interior design materials and furniture production technologies. LAMIDECOR’s Sales and Marketing Director, Imanol Gil, and Export Sales Representative, Nadja Schleich, attended the event to gain insights into the latest innovations and future directions in decorative surfaces.
One of the most significant shifts observed at Interzum was the return to cleaner and more refined wood decors. The design trend is moving away from rustic aesthetics with heavy knots and dramatic grain patterns, giving way to more subtle, homogeneous finishes that enhance calmness and visual continuity in interior spaces.
Another notable development is the renewed emphasis on vertical wood grain orientation. While horizontal layouts remain present, vertical structures are regaining popularity, offering a more slender and architectural appearance that adds height and elegance to furniture and paneling.
Among the most talked-about technologies was the continued rise of Excimer technology, which enables ultra-matte, anti-fingerprint surfaces with exceptional resistance to wear and touch. These finishes are especially valued in high-traffic applications like kitchen furniture and commercial interiors.
Additionally, deep pore textures are gaining traction for their ability to replicate the authentic tactile qualities of natural wood.
Interzum 2025 emphasized sustainability under the theme «Rethinking Resources: Circular and Biobased Solutions.» The fair highlighted the use of biobased materials and production processes aimed at reducing environmental impact, aligning with circular economy principles.
LAMIDECOR’s presence at Interzum 2025 underscores its dedication to innovation and sustainability. The trends and technologies explored during the event will inspire the development of new collections that meet the evolving aesthetic and functional demands of the market.
