It was the first time at Spoga+Gafa, the international fair entirely dedicated to the outdoor, from gardening to forniture. This year has hosted around 40.000 visitors.

I found again the typical Koelnmesse’s skill of realizing high quality events, easy to visit.

Read my post: best of IMM Cologne

There was something really interesting: I finally found activities able to tell their history, meet the visitors and get in touch with them.

[No traces left by that posh design, that, honestly, these last year was more interested in fashion than people].

As far as outdoor is concerned: I selected ten articles, I descovered at Spoga+Gafa. Here they are.

1. Waterstone by tscollection.nl

Finally, the orchids vase by Lechuza is studied on purpose to facilitate flowers care: it would be sufficient watering the plants once every three weeks, without need of placing it in the bathroom.
