»Berlin Design Selection 2016« celebrated its premiere at the Biennale Interieur in Kortrijk (Belgium) from October 14 until 23. The group exhibition tackled a characteristic element of the Wilhelminian-style-architecture of the German capital: the »Berliner Zimmer«, the peculiarities of which still characterise the domestic lives of many residents in the city. At one time, this space connected the stately front-of-house with the rear wing, creating a separation between private and presentable space. Today, the infamous passage room with its solitary window demands innovative approaches to offset its often unwieldy and gloomy character.

The designers and product labels AXEL VEIT, bartmann berlin, COORDINATION, Daniel Becker Design Studio, Hopf,Nordin, llot llov, Niclas Jørgensen, STUDIO BERG and Studio Hausen presented themselves against this unmistakable backdrop and at the same time invoked the original idea of the Biennale Interieur – the interior as a comprehensive living environment.

"Berlin Design Selection 2016" presented objects suitable for classic and modern interiors. The selection ranged from furniture for living and bedrooms to interior accessories, luminaires and innovative product surfaces. The combination of classic and conceptual product typologies, as well as technical and customisable variations reflected the heterogeneity and diversity of Berlin’s contemporary design production.
