COLOGNE, Germany — Global outdoor trade fair Spoga+Gafa will launch a new high-design concept called Object.Europe at the show, slated for June 22-24, 2026.
Curated by Angelika Müller, editor of H.O.M.E. lifestyle magazine, the Object.Europe concept for Hall 9 of the show will focus on high-design outdoor, garden and BBQ products.
“The success of a trade fair such as Spoga+Gafa depends largely on consistent content development and open dialogue with visitors and exhibitors,” Müller said. “As curators for Object.Europe, we want to help present outdoor living in a new light. We see Object.Europe as a stage for premium brands that combine quality, design and sustainability — curated in international collaboration with the H.O.M.E. team. At the same time, we hope that Spoga+Gafa will become an inspiring meeting place for the industry.”
Object.Europe places greater emphasis on the design and cultural dimensions of outdoor living. The area will include high-end furnishings, shade products and outdoor kitchens in vignettes designed to inspire.
“Of course it’s about product presentation, but even more so, it’s about atmosphere, values and curated brand staging — things that the industry will need more of in the future,” said Claudia Maurer, director, Spoga+Gafa.
Starting in 2026, Hall 10 at the show will display a wide spectrum of international outdoor furnishings companies, from high-volume consumer brands to established premium suppliers. Hall 9 with Object.Europe will set a contrasting display of curated, high-end European outdoor design brands.
“With this hall, we want to bring strong brands back to Spoga+Gafa, attract new ones and give the industry a space that inspires and provides impetus,” Maurer said.
Spoga+Gafa will be held June 22-24, 2026, at Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany.
