northmodern second edition: 13 - 15 August 2015

Creating ONE platform

With new online opportunities the trading and shopping behaviour is constantly changing, challenging the way companies are run. New business models are being created; young brands blossom and revitalize the industry, established companies have sprung from the recession and reinvented ‘old news’ with interesting collabs – all creating products that are more available and accessible to the consumer and bringing together the world of Furniture and Interior Design as never before. Many furniture stores are expanding with more home accessories and vice versa.

northmodern — a business platform giving visitors a one-stop destination in Copenhagen, facilitates the many opportunities in the city and connects visitors with exhibitors, showrooms and the rest of the city. Visitors can, free of charge, take a ride on a northmodern shuttle bus, stopping at the most important design spots in the city.

Special Projects

Aiming at creating a new and inspiring trade show experience, northmodern puts a lot of effort into implementing ‘special projects’ with exhibitors and designers, showcasing interesting and innovative products, areas and installations with scenography that stands out.

In August, northmodern is introducing special projects with Tom Dixon, Muuto and HagendornHagen, amongst others.

Collabs

northmodern recognizes that in order to provide a strong and international business platform, strategic partners and collabs are key.

Paris based 1.618 is an international network of luxury professionals and consumers, exchanging ideas and ways to promote sustainable luxury products on an international scale. 1.618 is curating 500m2 at northmodern with sustainable luxury brands from around the world.

Partnerships

To enhance an official commitment to the furniture industry, northmodern has partnered up with the international organization for Architecture and Design, Architonic — the world’s leading research tool for the specification of premium architectural and design products.

Other partnerships are Design denmark, a Danish alliance of designers, design thinkers and design businesses, working to promote design in business and society. Design denmark is also curating the conference program at northmodern on the scene SPEAK, where Tom Dixon and Alice Rawsthorn are already confirmed as speakers amongst other interesting professional personalities.

PEJ Gruppen, The Trend Institute of Scandinavia, are also in partnership with northmodern, providing memberships for professionals within the lifestyle industries in Scandinavia, where trends are important basics for innovation and business development. PEJ employs trend spotters and trend researchers, designers, analysts, journalists, teachers and a range of specialists on a freelance basis.

PEJ’s shop and conference scene at northmodern will contribute to the interior segment, presenting trend forecasts by mainly Danish profile speakers.

With above mentioned partnerships, northmodern is setting the scene in establishing an internationally acclaimed event and a platform with Copenhagen as a great contribution to both exhibitors as well as visitors.
