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.

Good product design involves a great deal of work and requires plenty of experience and skills. The Design Intent experiences an evolutionary development and needs sufficient time to mature. This not necessarily linear process requires extensive analysis and ultimately also good feeling to make the right decisions at the right time.

WertelOberfell will be working on some experimental designs on site at KGM, and provide insights into their work processes. The focus will be on iterative artwork using 3D printers and CAD programs. In this way, visitors can observe how a design evolves from the first idea – the Design Intent – into its final version.

As part of the exhibition "Victor Papanek: The Politics of Design", the Vitra Design Museum and the Volkswagen Group invite you to an interdisciplinary panel discussion in Berlin:

More and more designers are taking on the responsibility associated with the realisation that design is an important tool for social, ecological and hence political change. They develop projects that focus on complex themes such as sustainability, identity, inclusion, our consumer behaviour and the effects of global digitisation. But while there is still some agreement on the formulation of goals - such as social justice or a clean environment - opinions differ as to why design has to face the big questions of our time, how these goals can be achieved, and what influence design can actually exert on them.

The panelists Axel Kufus, product designer and university professor, Henriette Ackermann, trend and material designer, and Amelie Klein, curator at the Vitra Design Museum, will discuss these questions.
