The trend forum “informed by cologne” at the International Cologne Furniture Fair is considered a trend-setting special exhibition.

The members of the trend board (Ilse Crawford, Tom Dixon, Chantal Hamaide, Eero Koivisto, Reiko Miyamoto, Marie O'Mahony) divide the trends for 2006 into the areas of Storytelling, Technique Nature, The New New and New Rituals.

Leise is delighted that furniture from the Leise collection was shown in the Storytelling setting in an unusual application as a shelf installation.

To complement the exhibition, the trend book “Interior Trends 2006” has been published.
