Inside is a new festival celebrating the finest interiors and their creators through a series of curated events, talks, installations and a prestigious awards programme. Launched in 2011 in Barcelona, Inside 2012 will take place in Cologne, 23-25 October. The event will be a vibrant platform for creative thought, mutual inspiration and idea exchange - capturing the design zeitgeist in style over two exciting days.

At the festival's heart is the international awards programme.
