To launch the new collection from Siegen-based manufacturer Konstantin Slawinski, Leise Design conceived, designed and implemented trade fair appearances in Cologne, Paris and Frankfurt in January and February 2018.

For the presentations at the interior design fairs "imm cologne" in Cologne, "Maison & Objet" in Paris and "Ambiente" in Frankfurt, the product colours beige-red and white formed the highly visible framework for the diverse new collection. It ranges from clocks to side tables and plant bowls to the "YU shelving system", which demonstrated its versatile application possibilities in a counter configuration in Frankfurt.

The trade fair appearances also included the product family "EL on the wall" and the "YU furniture system", both designed by Knut Völzke and awarded the IF Design Award in 2018. In Paris and Frankfurt, "EL on the wall" was shown for the first time in beige-red. The variety of materials in the YU system was expanded to include blue steel with a waxed surface and perforated metal elements. At the three exhibition locations, the product lines "YU SIDEBOARD", "YU SHELF" and "YU BENCH" were presented to the public for the first time with the new materials.

The integrative design of the exhibition stands included not only the exhibition architecture and lighting planning but also the curation and staging of the products.
