Our Headquarter
Our head office is located in Cologne’s Rheinauhafen, a lively, trendy district characterized by a combination of traditional buildings and modern architecture. We have remained true to this approach when furnishing our listed “ATES Tower”. Our customers love the modern Bauhaus-style furnishings, the pleasant ambience and the great view of the Rhine. Take a look inside!
