Cosi at spoga+gafa Cologne 2026: Presenting Dutch Design Outdoor Heating to European Retailers

spoga+gafa Cologne, the world’s leading B2B trade fair for garden lifestyle, BBQ, and outdoor living, provides Gimeg Nederland b.v. (Cosi) with a strategic platform to present its outdoor heating collection to international retailers, garden centers, DIY chains, and hospitality buyers. Located in Hall 10.2, Booth M029, Cosi will showcase its range of gas lanterns, fire tables, and patio heaters—products designed to help consumers enjoy outdoor moments regardless of temperature. The company’s participation targets European buyers seeking design-led, certified, weather-resistant heating solutions for residential and commercial outdoor spaces.

Product Portfolio: Outdoor Heating for Every Situation

Cosi’s product range covers multiple outdoor heating categories:
• Cosiscoop Gas Lantern Series: Award-winning design (B3 Design Award 2019) featuring decorative gas lanterns that combine warmth with atmospheric lighting
• Fire Tables: Multi-functional outdoor tables with integrated gas fire pits, combining dining or lounge surfaces with ambient heat
• Patio Heaters: Freestanding and tabletop gas heaters in various designs and finishes

The company emphasizes product diversity: “Whatever your needs, thanks to our diversity of products you will always find the Cosi that suits you.” This range allows retail partners to offer solutions across price points and applications, from residential garden owners to hospitality operators.

Dutch Design Philosophy: Form, Function, and Atmosphere

Cosi’s design identity is rooted in Dutch design principles: clean lines, thoughtful detailing, material honesty, and user-centric functionality. The complete Cosi collection is conceived and developed in the Netherlands, with designers focusing on creating products that serve as both heat sources and visual focal points. The brand’s tagline—”Let’s get Cosi”—captures the emotional benefit: extending summer evenings, creating warm gathering spaces, and enabling outdoor entertaining regardless of temperature. For European retailers, Cosi offers a design-led alternative to utilitarian patio heaters, appealing to consumers who value aesthetics as much as performance.

Safety Certification: KIWA/Gastec Approved and CE Marked

All Cosi products are approved and certified by KIWA/Gastec, a leading European testing, inspection, and certification body for gas appliances. The CE quality mark confirms compliance with relevant EU safety, health, and environmental protection standards. This certification is critical for European retailers, as uncertified gas appliances cannot be legally sold in most EU markets. Cosi’s certification provides retail partners with regulatory assurance, reducing compliance risk and simplifying product listing processes. Certification also covers gas connections, burner performance, and emission standards, ensuring safe operation for end consumers.

Sustainable Techniques and Materials

Cosi emphasizes the use of sustainable techniques and materials in product development. The company’s Cosi Care principle extends to partners, customers, suppliers, and employees, focusing on long-term relationships and responsible business practices. While gas-powered outdoor heaters use fossil fuel energy, Cosi’s emphasis on design durability, repairability, and efficient combustion aligns with European consumer expectations for quality products that last. The company’s Dutch manufacturing and design base ensures short supply chains and European production standards.

Target Markets and Retail Channels

Cosi products serve multiple market segments:
• Residential garden and patio owners seeking extended outdoor season
• Hospitality sector (restaurants, cafes, hotels) with outdoor seating areas
• Camping and outdoor recreation users requiring portable heat
• Garden centers and home improvement retailers
• Specialty outdoor living and barbecue stores
• E-commerce and direct-to-consumer channels
The brand’s award-winning design (B3 Design Award 2019 for Cosiscoop series) provides marketing differentiation and media appeal for retail partners.

• Functional warmth: Extend outdoor usability into cooler evenings and shoulder seasons
• Atmospheric lighting: Gas lanterns and fire tables provide ambient glow for social gatherings
• Design statement: Aesthetic products that enhance outdoor décor rather than detracting from it
• Portability: Options for flexible placement, storage, and transport
