The international furnishing show IMM Cologne will be take place from 14th to 20th January 2013 has nominated designer Luca Nichetto as its Guest of Honour for "Das Haus - Interiors on Stage 2013". In his design, the Venetian focuses on solutions that are intended to enable occupants to live in direct contact with the plant world. The simple architecture of the "Haus", which has been designed using natural materials and colours and creates a rather reserved impression.

"I wanted to be able to see the green outside through every big window. This creates the atmosphere of a connection to nature while fostering a sense of intimacy at the same time. I want to live in a modern home, but I also want to feel at home," says Luca Nichetto. He is mainly famous for doing things his own way. He stayed in Venice, founded his own design firm in the city's Mestre Harbour in 2006 and opened a second studio in Stockholm in 2011. He is widely regarded as one of the most sought-after young designers in Italy and collaborates with a multitude of international brands.
