Exhibition at Kunstgewerbemuseum
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.
Opening:
November 28, 4:30pm
Talk and guided tour with the designers, participation with valid museum ticket for free.

UX Design #LIVE
Industry meets IT: User friendliness - usability in industrial production
With increasing digitalization, the demands on the way users interact with technical devices are increasing. If a user feels overwhelmed by complexity, or if a machine requires illogical action, this is a serious market disadvantage.
Industry representatives will learn why user-friendliness is a decisive success factor and how practical implementation can succeed by means of three practical examples for improved usability in production. UX experts and company representatives will present principles and best practices for user-friendly design.

What does it mean to apply design and creativity to the complex and problematic consequences of a globalised economy? How can socially committed design communities network internationally? What formats does "What Design Can Do" offer and how can graduates of Berlin's design schools get involved?
With: Esther Cleven, Manon van Hoekel, Richard van der Laken, Babette Porcelijn, Ake Rudolf

Bauhaus 4.0 meets Designlehre
On the occasion of the Bauhaus anniversary the German Design Day starts the series "Bauhaus 4.0 - Future is made of design". In a total of ten panel discussions, ideas for the design of a future worth living will be collected. In each case three to four top creative people with very different fields of activity and experience will ask themselves questions such as..: How can we use the utopian potential of the Bauhaus not only to react to social developments, but to actively shape them ourselves? How can we learn from the most sustainable design school in history?
The first panel discussion will take place in Dieburg/Frankfurt. The topic:
»Bauhaus 4.0 meets design theory: In the conflicting field between design theory, teaching and practice - on changing the role of design in times of digitalisation«
Among others with industrial designer Susanne Lengyel, Prof. Markus Frenzl & product designer Franz Zebner.

Vitra Design Museum
Anton Lorenz. From avant-garde to industry
For the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus, the Vitra Design Museum is dedicating an exhibition to the entrepreneur and designer Anton Lorenz for the first time. Lorenz is regarded as a key figure in the development of modern tubular steel furniture. Like hardly any other material, tubular steel embodied the ideals of the Bauhaus avant-garde, such as the quest for a "machine aesthetic" and the search for radically new constructions, as expressed in the famous cantilever chair. The designer owes his importance not only to his furniture designs, but also to his success with patents and company foundations. The exhibition in the show depot includes furniture by legendary designers such as Marcel Breuer, Mart Stam and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as well as objects and documents from the estate of Anton Lorenz, who belongs to the collection of the Vitra Design Museum.
