state of design berlin
a four day design exhibition for all of you design addicts out there
Published On: 09/06/2017
With DMY (Berlin’s annual International Design Festival) being cancelled this year, we made our way to the second annual State of Design Berlin. Located in the storage room of the old Kindl Brewery, this festival seeks to explore the experimental, critical and social order of design. It is a four day exhibition that hosts talks, workshops and films.
From the work that was presented, we bring you some of the pieces that stood out from the rest, in no particular order. Browse, admire and click - your click will take you to the company/designer page so you can learn more.
*Check out the vegetarian / vegan coffee shop with homemade cakes - König Otto located within the old brewery (the Kindl Center for Contemporary Art) in Berlin Neukölln, it is something to be seen in itself!
JOLLYPOP | MARCH

LYFE | FLYTE
LYFE - a zero-gravity growing system allowing you to cultivate your favourite plants in mid-air. Through magnetic levitation powered via induction, the object continuously rotates 360 degrees allowing plants to get sun all around - so go get a Lyfe!
NAIVE CHAIR | ETCETC STUDIO
Six sticks and one seat. This chair can be flat-packed into a pizza box and it takes only a minute to assemble or disassemble it.
HILBERT BY OSCAR HUGAL FOR NATE LIGHTS
Hilbert is an apparatus with multiple switches for operating a light bulb. The user is to look for specific combination of switches to turn on the bulb. On the inside, there is a manual with hieroglyphic symbols, turning the lamp into a riddle.
ZANDGLAS | ATELIER NL
The small bowls showcase sand sourced from various parts of the Netherlands, that is fired into glass of blue/green hues. The carafe and three drinking glasses are unique to the region the material came from. How fantastic is that!
