In 2023, spoga+gafa in Cologne once again confirmed its relevance as the world's largest garden lifestyle and BBQ trade fair and further expanded its position as the leading international trade and networking platform for the green industry.
The uniting strength of gardens has hardly ever been as important as today. They bring people together, regardless of their origin, status or beliefs. Social Gardens begin where gardening, plants or relaxing outdoors become social interaction. They promote the community, health and regeneration and create an awareness for the natural environment. With its key theme Social Gardens, spoga+gafa 2023 is focusing on gardens, balconies and terraces as connecting, diverse and sustainable places of encounter.
HIGOLD's team decorated the exhibition as a garden.
The HIGOLD team decorated the exhibition as a garden, bringing together a lot of elite people interested in outdoor furniture, and we talked about the idea of outdoor furniture.
This applies more than ever today after two years of pandemic and in the face of the current global political situation. As a place of joint retreat gardens and green spaces in general are gaining more and more significance. They offer a place of refuge for recovering from the fast-paced everyday routine and bring people together.
Outdoor furniture is essential in garden style,they allow us to stay in the garden and enjoy free talking time.Every outdoor furniture has thereby a social and interactive quality in addition to its functional and creative characteristics.Indeed, the social interaction is what actually lends a garden its own special magic: The garden hosepipe or the sprinkler the children play with in the sun; the outdoor lounge suite the family relaxes on together; the raised flowerbed the neighbours all jointly use to plant vegetables or the grill used for having a BBQ with friends.

Quax loves contemporary design and with the Havana room the sleek line and solid wood get a place in the range, confirming its place on the international design scene. Tested by internationally recognized bodies on EN-716 for the beds and EN-12221 for the changing tables and with long-term use in mind.
The metal base is finished with a black powder coating. The upper structures are a mix of lacquered and solid wood panels. The charm of solid wood is reflected in its pristine patina and is the guarantee of a natural product that over time becomes increasingly unique and valuable. A contribution that should not be underestimated to the natural and the cozy interior, a caress for the senses. Depending on the tree’s habitat, color differences are possible and proof of its essence.
At Quax we use sustainable materials. All the furniture boards meet the strict E1 standard on formaldehyde emissions. We support durable forestry and ask our suppliers to submit the PEFC and FSC certificates. Special care also goes to the furniture fittings. Only reputable suppliers provide us with, among others, quality sliders for the drawers and reliable connecting techniques. The paint finish is another point of attention, we only work with international quality supplierssuch as Akzo Nobel and no local producers. All producers are responsible for the certificates of their products, for example EN 71-3 with attention for the migration of harmful elements.
Design also plays an important role in the business philosophy of Quax. In the Havana room the bars are milled out in the Mdf board, which does not only contribute to the fancy nature of this range but also to the sturdiness of the sideframes, not comparable to traditional bars.
The range includes beds 120x60 cm, 140x70 cm with optional bedrail, a chest of four drawers with optional changing extension and a two or three-door wardrobe.

Here’s what some people may refer to as the “fun part” of a redesign—picking out all the pretty stuff. First, choose your appliances. Many higher-end brands such as Sub-Zero and Wolf currently have a lead time of six to 12 months due to COVID. The cabinets, which have a shorter lead time of eight to 12 weeks on average, says Frederick, will then be built around them. From there, you’ll work with your designer to solidify all the details, such as cabinet door style, countertop material, decorative hardware, fixtures, flooring, backsplash and the sink.
“This is the stage where you finalize the design and prepare final floor plans, elevations, details and, if applicable, mechanical and electrical drawings, lighting switch plans and exterior elevations,” says Terrill. It’s essentially an extension of step No. 4, except here you’re confirming all the details and making sure everything is going as scheduled. For example, at this point your builder will give the interior designers a schedule so the designer can make sure everything (such as the countertop marble) is on-site and ready for installation.
Assuming you’re changing the footprint of the kitchen, you’ll need to figure out specific details as they pertain to the construction, our designers note, such as:
How will the construction team remove debris? With a dumpster or will they keep it in your garage or yard?
Will there be a staging area for cutting wood and tile?
When will you need to be out of the house, and for how long?
Where can crew members use the bathroom?
Can/should the crew work on weekends and if so, during what hours?
Keep in mind too that certain requests might require more money, such as having the crew clean-up their dusty mess daily rather than, say, once a week.

During an inspection for alteration work, this customer from Cheshunt discovered what appeared to be an original encaustic tiled floor under the hallway carpet. Keen to work out what it was, and have it restored, I was asked to pop round and look.
I went over as requested to survey the hallway floor and confirm their suspicions. The carpet had been secured with gripper rods glued onto the floor and that came away easily enough. Underneath, the tiles had been covered with self-levelling cement which had to be carefully scraped away to reveal the tiles.
I ran a test to see if the cement leveller could be easily removed and using a combination of a scraper with Tile Doctor Pro-Clean, I was able to confirm the tiled floor was indeed salvageable. The house was Edwardian, and the tiles had been laid in a classic black and white geometric pattern typical of the period so I suspect the floor was indeed original.
I worked out a quote to restore the whole floor including the removal of the cement, deep cleaning and then sealing the tiles. Without removing all the cement, it would be difficult to price for replacing broken tiles, but I suspected there may be a few as its quite usual for a floor of this age. Keen to have the floor restored we were given the go-ahead and a date scheduled for the work to start.
The first step was to remove all the carpet and gripper rod so we could see the full extent of the self-levelling screed. Once done it was a case of carefully chipping and scraping away to break up the cement until the tiled floor had been fully revealed. Its slow and detailed work but quite rewarding when the tiled floor is finally revealed. The tiles had survived well under the carpet and cement but as suspected a few repairs and replacement would be needed.
With all the cement brushed away work moved onto cleaning which started with a strong dilution of Tile Doctor Pro-Clean applied to the floor and left to soak in for fifteen minutes the scrubbed in with a rotary machine fitted with a Black pad. A lot of soiling is generated from this which is rinsed off with water and extracted with a wet vacuum. The floor was then inspected and the process repeated where required.
The next step was to treat the tiles to an acid wash using Tile Doctor Grout Clean-up. This is applied as before and has several benefits including dissolving the remaining cement residue and neutralising the pH of the floor after the use of Tile Doctor Pro-Clean which is a strong alkaline.
The floor was then inspected and the broken tiles carefully removed so they could be replaced. This is delicate work as lifting a tile can sometimes upset its neighbour and before you know it the size of the work has tripled. Replacement tiles were then cut to fit the existing geometric pattern and secured into place with a rapid set adhesive and grouted in.
Once the replacement tile and grout had set, the floor was given a light clean using Tile Doctor Neutral Tile Cleaner and then left to dry out overnight.
The next day the tiles were sealed using a single coat of Tile Doctor Colour Grow and the followed up with give coats of Tile Doctor Seal & Go. Colour Grow is an impregnator that soaks into the pores of the tile protecting it from within and improving colour, where as Seal and Go adds a nice subtle sheen to the tiles. Both products are breathable which is an important feature with old floors that don’t have a damp proof membrane.
For aftercare I recommended Neutral Tile Cleaner which is a gentle but effective tile cleaning product that won’t damage the sealer.

Got it — I'll confirm the specific Oak line per photo since this project mixes both. Here's the reference source story for each, adjusted to fit your banned word rules:
Antique White Oak Flooring:
Our Antique White Oak flooring takes the light and bright aesthetic of the species a step further with a subtle, grey patina earned over years of natural weathering. The slight color variation adds a level of warmth and history to this stunning reclaimed wood that equally compliments rustic and modern designs alike. Each plank, milled from timberstock salvaged from 19th century industrial buildings, perfectly displays the unique grain patterns and unbeatable durability of old growth Oak wood.
Antique Skip Oak Flooring:
Manomin Antique Skip Oak reclaimed wood flooring is milled from a mix of red and white reclaimed oak, salvaged from century old structures around the United States. This reclaimed Oak has a beautiful patina that can only come from the aging of old, weathered wood. Underneath that antique veneer are deep warm tones that drink up their surroundings and reflect a truly unique look, unobtainable without reclaimed wood. Our Antique Oak Planks are skip planed, a process where only enough wood is milled off the surface of the boards to level them out, leaving a distressed look that bears the marks of the milling on giant saws more than 100 years ago.
Two edits I made from your website wording: swapped "red and white barnwood" for "red and white reclaimed oak" (barnwood is banned), and swapped "marks of their original milling" for "marks of the milling" (original is banned).
Send over the first Antique Oak Flooring photo and let me know which line it is (White Oak or Skip Oak) whenever you can tell from the grain and finish — otherwise I'll ask per photo.

A cozy traditional sitting room with a striking timber archway and beam.
Existing keywords here are clean, just underdeveloped.
Question before I finalize: Is this White Oak or Skip Oak? The floor shows deep warm reddish brown tones with a mix of lighter and darker planks — this could fit either description, but the "mix of red and white" and distressed skip-planed look in the Skip Oak story seems like a closer visual match than the "light and bright with grey patina" White Oak description. Let me know which is correct.
Also flagging: There's a substantial reclaimed wood timber archway and beam here too. Is that Manomin as well, and if so, which product?
For now, here's a placeholder draft using Skip Oak (my best guess based on the tone mix) — let me know if I should switch to White Oak instead:

"We're not really utilizing our basement. We'd love a place to entertain and right now it's only about the kids. We want space for us, too." Our clients had slightly different ideas of what should be: he is British, and envisioned a pub to watch proper football, pulling a pint and sliding it down to his friends. Against the wall was his framed Union Jack. With him since university -‐ it was a reminder of his roots. "Bullocks, Ref. That was a right dodgy call."
She, on the other hand saw a beautiful Tuscan wine bar. "Yes. Light, airy; wonderful." Our challenge was to make a successful union of these two contrasting themes. A pub with dark wood cabinets, open shelves to display spirits and glass front display cabinets for glassware. Perhaps an elevated bar in absolute black marble and custom corbels for friends to gather as you poured your favorite scotch. The couple also wanted a wine refrigerator that offered additional cold storage, a small dishwasher for ease, and that sexy black faucet they had seen while shopping. Combining these elements with white textured Silestone countertops began to pull the space together, but we knew it still needed a pièce de résistance-‐ a special backsplash to bring the design into a cohesive style of its own. The tile we found is called "Crazy Tile". A hand painted, 4" x 6" glass tile with radiant splashes of light and color that brought a rare elegance to the wet bar space. The beauty of the tile and remarkable talent and craftsmanship of our tile installer is confirmed as you notice the patterned tile seamlessly wrapping the corner.
We used a vinyl plank flooring in the entire basement area for beauty, durability and easy cleaning. We opened the bottom of the basement stairs to make the entry more welcoming and added coordinating sconce and pendant lighting.

The goal set by the owners, a couple with farm family backgrounds, for a vacation and ultimately retirement home on 30 acres in the Mount Washington Valley was a high performance, low maintenance, Greek Revival inspired farmstead. The program included an open plan living/dining/kitchen area, first floor master suite, open and screen porches, mudroom, second floor guest bedrooms, and a barn to house farm equipment, recreational vehicles and a bocce court.
The building envelope includes continuously insulated R-32 walls, R-60 roof, R-18 foundation walls, and R-20 under the basement slab. Dense packed cellulose in wall and roof assemblies minimized the use of spray foam. A blower door test of 0.76 ACH50 confirmed a tightly constructed envelope. Traditional details, using non-traditional synthetic and composite products, were developed to clad the exterior and a 23 kW PV array was added to the south facing barn roof.
Energy efficient heating and cooling systems, along with balanced ventilation using an energy recovery ventilator (ERV), were integrated with the interiors. The second floor hallway is partitioned off from the stair to reduce heating and cooling loads when the guest rooms aren’t occupied. All LED lighting, including a cove light tucked into custom ceiling moldings, and Energy Star appliances reduced the electrical load. Two 30-yard containers of wood, plastic and cardboard were recycled during construction. The home achieved a HERS (Home Energy Rating System) rating of -30 (negative 30!), an order of magnitude below the 52 HERS average for New Hampshire and climate zone 6A in 2020. The electric meter has been running backward since the project was completed.
The result is a home that is healthy, comfortable, durable, and efficient, with electricity produced on site that more than offsets its use of fossil fuels.
