TM Leader Contract brings contract design to ORGATEC 2026
Design-led furniture, new collaborations and an immersive setting in Cologne
From 27 to 30 October, TM Leader Contract took part in ORGATEC 2026 in Cologne. At Hall 10.2, Stand N-039, the company shared its vision of contract furniture with architects, interior designers, distributors and other industry professionals.
ORGATEC is an international trade fair dedicated to workplace environments and contract interiors. This year’s event brought together 550 exhibiting companies from 39 countries and welcomed more than 40,000 professionals from 121 countries, according to the organisers’ estimated figures. Its central theme, From rooms to relationships: designing spaces in an ever-changing world, invited visitors to consider how spaces can encourage connection and collaboration while adapting to different needs and uses.
Against this backdrop, TM Leader Contract presented its furniture in a space designed as an immersive experience. A black exterior led into a red interior, where carpet and illuminated platforms placed each piece centre stage. Under the FIND THE UNEXPECTED slogan, the layout invited visitors to discover the furniture from a different perspective.

One of the highlights of TM Leader Contract’s participation was the presentation of TRENT, its new collaboration with ESTUDI{H}AC, the studio founded and creatively led by José Manuel Ferrero.
The project began with a study of different shirt-collar styles, focusing in particular on the opening of the Trent collar. Its geometry inspired the detail that gives the collection its identity. This tailoring reference is translated into furniture through proportion, construction and careful attention to detail. At ORGATEC, the collaboration was shown to the professional audience for the first time, along with the concept behind TRENT: how a specific observation can become the starting point for contemporary design.
A journey through TM’s designs
The stand was conceived as an immersive space with a theatrical feel. Its black exterior opened onto a red interior, with carpet, illuminated platforms and a single entrance framed by a large curtain. The layout guided visitors through the space, where they could discover pieces from several TM Leader Contract collaborations: the Kairos lounge chair by Karim Rashid; the Paper chair by Vlad Tolochko; and TRENT, a new collection comprising an armchair and a lounge chair, created with ESTUDI{H}AC.
The presentation explored different ways to bring design, comfort and functionality into contract projects and collective spaces.
Thank you for visiting us in Cologne
TM Leader Contract would like to thank everyone who visited the stand and shared ideas and projects with the team during ORGATEC 2026. The presentation of TRENT marks a new chapter in the collaboration with ESTUDI{H}AC and in the development of distinctive furniture for the contract sector.
