Werner Aisslinger creates upholstered hut for Kvadrat's Garden of Wonders display stand
German designer Werner Aisslinger has built a cabin covered in colourful Kvadrat textiles for the Danish brand's stand at this year's imm Cologne furniture fair (+ slideshow).
Titled Garden of Wonders, the stand is located within the Design Post exhibition, which is taking place in the halls of a former post office in the Deutz quarter of Cologne.
Aisslinger was asked to create an installation to show off the range of textiles from Kvadrat, as well as sister brands Danskina and Kinnasand.
These include three textile collections by Cristian Zuzunaga, Åsa Pärson and Scholten & Baijings, and a trio of rugs by Hella Jongerius.
The designer chose to build a "small piece of architecture", which has padded walls covered in upholstery.

Colourful fabrics were also draped over a wooden grid suspended from the ceiling, along with a few plants.
