INTRO
Let's take a look at the trends of our time: like a compass needle, the search for better alternatives and new solutions determines our actions. It drives companies and science and inspires our living, working and living environments. Even logic is breaking new ground: micro is the new big, recyclable is the new wasteful. Behind everything is the question: How do we want to live together in the future? Open and flexible or secluded and idyllic? At the Future Living Interior Congress, we invite you to approach the topic of "How will we live in the future?" in high-caliber lectures, talks and discussion panels, to ask uncomfortable questions and to jointly identify solutions for interior design and architecture.
