With the 2010 edition Cologne Fine Art & Antiques introduced a new sector to the fair: contemporary design. One of the highlights is the Design Lounge that was conceived by the German designer and artist Florian Borkenhagen (represented by Gabrielle Ammann Gallery, Cologne).

In this video, Florian Borkenhagen talks about his career, the concept of the Design Lounge, and upcoming projects.
