He has consistently been in the forefront of modern furniture design in Canada. Klaus Nienkämper, will be the Legend Keynote at IIDEX/NeoCon Canada 2008 and will be in conversation with William Thorsell, Director and CEO of the Royal Ontario Museum.

Nienkämper arrived in Canada in 1960 from Germany.
