The exhibition celebrates not just chart-topping hits – German Schlager as well as offbeat and forgotten musical offerings await your (re)discovery. The heart of the exhibition is the Main Road, which presents the cultural background to the respective eras of pop. The Sound Lounge invites you to listen and relax. Sixty songs from Marlene Dietrich to Pur complement the Main Road audio experience. In the Backstage area, a selection of posters and record and CD covers brings old memories vividly back to life.

In the work of design collective Additive Addicted technologies of digital manufacturing and a millennia-old material – porcelain – meet and interact with one another. To accentuate the special characteristics and qualities of porcelain the design collective developed parametric and generative strategies that allowed to program and control the movements of a ceramic 3D printer. This way, objects with delicate, highly complex structures that resemble textiles were developed. From the symbiosis of technology and material arises a yet unseen repertoire of forms that could have not been realized with conventional ceramic techniques.

Sanghyeok Lee’s objects are intriguing and inviting to look at and use. They appear to be everyday objects – mirrors, tables, shelves and chairs. However, when taking a closer look and engaging in a dialogue with the objects, something new is revealed – something hidden behind the perfect workmanship, minimalist design and harmony between forms and function that only comes to light when interacting with and sensually experiencing the objects. South Korean designer Sanghyeok Lee exhibits five of his works, placed and presented in different spots in the museum.

The BERLIN DESIGN WEEK will take place from 20 to 27 September. Berlin becomes a lively venue for innovative design. For the first time there will be design formats in parallel at different locations.

Opening party: 21.9. from 7:00pm, at Vollgutlager

Not only things are shaped by design. Human behavior can be influenced by design as well. This realization is not new, but in combination with digital tools, its implementation gains a new dimension.

Companies as well as politics specifically use methods of behavioral economics such as nudging in order to influence people. David Cameron even created a nudge unit that helped inducing the British to more organ donations. Nudging works and is successful – that is proven. It usually even works much better than threats, penalties or prescriptions, and better than informing or lecturing. That is good and terrifying at the same time.

Since Richard Thaler received the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2017 for the research he did on this topic, the approach of behavioral or persuasive design has been discussed increasingly in the design context. When does user-orientation and well-intentioned influence lead to incapacitation and immorality? This is what we will discuss with Peter Post, Managing Director of the creative agency Scholz & Volkmer, Prof. Dr. Max von Grafenstein, who is doing research on the topic of “Big Data, Nudging and Digital Self-Determination”, behavioral economist Dr. Mira Fischer, and Cesy Leonard from the Center for Political Beauty.

Moderation: Lucas Verweij

The talk will be held in German.

In a series of everyday objects, Birgit Severin and Guillaume Neu-Rinaudo focus on the influences of the industrial revolution and the new material glass on the art of the 19th century. Inspired by Claude Monet's image Impression, soleil levant – the epitome of impressionism – and by Japanese woodcuts the two designers create objects from traditionally made, rolled glass. Like the motif in Monet's picture, these objects remain sketchy. Form and function fade into the background in favor of the immediate atmospheric impression.

Birgit Severin founded the studio b severin in Berlin, in 2013, and now she leads it together with her partner Guillaume Neu-Rinaudo. Her works move at the intersection of art, technology, craftsmanship and design.

Traditional crafts and a very unique design language characterize the work of Berlin fashion designer Buki Akomolafe. In her collections, androgynous, precise cuts meet eye-catching wax prints. Especially the elaborately quilted skirts and tops are remarkable and, like the basics, entirely produced in the designer’s studio and a small manufactory in Berlin. She works only with ecological materials, such as biologically grown cotton and hemp silk or West African wax print fabrics. Buki Akomolafe spent her early childhood in Nigeria with her father, who was managing an agricultural project. Saving resources is just as important to her as creating a new awareness of fashion and materials.
