Nowy Styl and Kusch+Co will return to ORGATEC 2026 with the theme ‘Playing with silence’, presenting a considered collection of products, materials and initiatives that explore the changing relationship between people, spaces and sound.
Rather than viewing silence simply as the absence of sound, the brands explore it as an active and valuable part of the environment something that can be shaped, designed and used to support concentration, reduce sensory overload and create space for meaningful interaction. In increasingly busy workplaces and public environments, the ability to control and adapt our acoustic surroundings can have a significant impact on how we focus, collaborate, communicate and recharge.
‘Playing with silence’ therefore becomes an exploration of the spaces between sound: from moments of calm and concentration to environments designed to encourage conversation and connection. Through acoustic solutions, adaptable furniture and thoughtful material choices, Nowy Styl and Kusch+Co demonstrate how design can give people greater control over the sensory experience of a space, while also addressing the wider environmental impact of the products within it.
Every two years, leading brands, experts and an international trade audience come together in Cologne to discover the ideas that are rethinking and shaping the world of contract furniture, with this year’s edition of Orgatec taking place between 27-30th October.
In Hall 6.1, Stand C-028, the joint showcase of Nowy Styl and Kusch+co will focus on two key areas shaping the future of workplace and public-space design: acoustic comfort and responsible, circular design. Alongside these themes, the brands will unveil nearly 20 new products, complemented by selected solutions from their existing portfolios.
