Today start Imm Cologne and Louise has been invited to take part at IMM Cologne 2014 as Guest of Honour. "Das Haus -- Interiors on Stage" is the large-scale scenography of a living situation based on the very personal ideas of an internationally influential designer who changes every year.

“Das Haus – Interiors on Stage” is the simulation of a home at the international interior design fair imm cologne. In the middle of the Pure Village hall, the trade fair  erect a big, open stage for the installation measuring around 240 m².

Louise Campbell wants to use “Das Haus” to tell stories. One of them pursues the theme of Alice in Wonderland, whose adventures take her to both miniature and giant-sized worlds. The dimensions in “Das Haus” seem to have been shifted slightly too, and ultra-long tables and beds produce some disconcerting effects. Visitors to “Das Haus” 2014 can thus look forward to a fascinating play with scale.

Louise Campbell has called her scenography and its play with scale and measurements “0-100. (Made to measure)”. Amongst other things, the many layers of meaning in this title allude to the search for the right balance between hectic activity and total relaxation. The instruments and grids present throughout the house are intended to underscore the importance our modern lifestyle attaches to measuring and weighing things up.

Venue.- imm cologne - Das Haus 2014. Koelnmesse GmbH. Messeplatz 1, Cologne, Germany.
Dates.- from January 13 until January 19, 2014
