A free project by Yannik Rohloff with Really, a new sheet materials supported by Kvadrat.
Circularity is a display system for clothes. The area of usage are shops and pop-up stores. A set consists of 3 Parts: Joints, feet and hangers, they are all made of solid textile boards produced by Really. Really takes an effort producing material from recycled textiles, in a circular economy. The joints and feet need to be assembled with wooden logs. The display system can either be standing with feet or hanging on the wall.

progress:
Our cafeteria is a place for meetings, a place to relax, sometimes to party, for presentations, to work and of course to eat. Our concept is to give the space an open structure to enable different situations.
Both versions of the staircase are equipped with integrated plants.
In variant B, the arrangement of the plant boxes is variable (see model). The staircase is made of ash scantlings.
The stool for variant A can accommodate 2 people and can be stowed in the room under the stairs. The stool for variant B can either act as padding on the stairs when rolled out or can be inserted into the staircase as a backrest.

The wall frame – constructed out of a nearly 4 meters long metal rod riminds somehow of a wardrobe or bookshelf to hang. And that is not even far from its actual purpose. Multi Care will help you to get organized at home. You can use it to put your clothes that have already been worn one day and need to air out overnight. Also for drying towels, hang jewelry or your coat, everything is possible. The multi use supports you in any room to live in and feel tidy and free from ballast.
Felicitas Schröder, 4.Sem SuSe 2019
In most bedrooms clothes cause a lot of chaos. Especially once worn clothes land on a chair in the corner. At the same time the laundry basket for the dirty laundry is usually an unloved object in the room, which is often hidden. It should be an object nice to have around – like a decorative vase of flowers! Laundry boy makes it possible to store dirty and not so dirty clothes at the same spot, but separately. The loose and effortless storage principle of the laundry chair is retained.
Jasper Bertelsen, 4.Sem SuSe 2019
I went searching for an interesting standard-material that both functionally and aesthetically matches to the given steel rods. Thereby, I discovered a braided sleeving usually used to protect cables. On the one hand, when putting the fabric over a rod and pulling on it, the sleeving expands and minimizes its diameter, causing high friction between textile and metal. On the other hand, when pushing the ends of the fabric together, the material widens and it becomes moveable.
Based on these special characteristics, I designed a modular wardrobe with sliding hooks, whose position can be adapted to the respective clothing.
Tobias Trübenbacher, 6.Sem SuSe 2019
A metal stool stems from the idea of geometric locking and thinking games. The stool is made up of three identical, repetitive parts that combine to create a structural strength. The stool is an initial stage of a formal search process that resulted from a thought about game and strength.
Kamer Devons, exchange student SuSe 2019
Normen is a stool/chair hybrid object, inspired by our urban landscape; a built environment that is given its shape by repetitive forms and structures. These standardised structures, such as scaffolding or bicycle stands, are shaped by a graphic repetition. The aim of Normen is to explore a possible physical translation of these reoccurring urban patterns.
Three simple forms come together to give the overall gestalt of Normen. The frame, which acts as both the legs and the seat, are put together out of two identical metal profiles; further stabilisation is provided by the backrest profile – which extends under and through the seat.
Neïl Benhidjeb, 4.Sem SuSe 2019
Holder is inspired by a standard construction tool. The pole is normally used for different attachments and is embedded in the ground. This shape is now the key element of the Holder, a plain rubbish bin. Four metal sticks are welt together on the ground and can perfectly hold a standard 60 liter trash bag. The open shape of the bin, is with and without a bag attractive. But the contrast between the rough indutrial steel and the refined plastic bag gives every working room a refreshing detail.
Tom Nieke, 4.Sem SuSe 2019
The FRAME HOOK was born from the direct inspiration of a screw hook for an easy and simple method of hanging clothes or objects. The idea of magnification and formal reinterpretation of this conventional wall hook forms the concept of this short project. The different curved shapes are fixed with a standardized brass dowel in the wall and can be arranged freely. The different shapes allow different uses and work both horizontally as vertically.

Lightning Rods – The perfect piece of furniture for the roof
8 mm steelrods are combinded with joints unsually found connecting lightning rods. Parallel, crosswise or angular, size and form are adjustable. A solid, yet flexible piece of furniture
Mosaic – A simple piece
An 8 mm steelrod, bent four times. Rather unimposing on it’s own, a group of these hooks can transform into diverse variations of patterns, especially by adding colour. A wardrobe that is able to grow with it’s users.
Joshua Mirza, 4.Sem SoSe 4. 2019
HOOKED is a modular shoe rack and wardrobe system consisting of several hooks and connectors. Each hook measures between 30 and 50 centimeters in length, is formed out of a bended steel rod and offers on each end – top and bottom – a threaded connecting opportunity. Combined with a spacer nut that thread allows each peace to connect to as many new ones as you like. HOOKED can either hang from the ceiling, be attached to the wall or stand on a foot.
Jan Goldmann, 4.Sem SuSe 2019
Born out of frustration and irritation, this hunk (of metal) tackles a standard problem in the unspectacular life of an average bathroom user. You have a heater, (that gets hot) – so why can’t you hang a couple of things on it to dry? Well, I don’t know – but, since all (most) heating elements/ tubes are standardized – now you can
Sergei Saraiva, 6.Sem SuSe 2019
CLIPENER is a Bottle opener set in three parts. Inspiration comes from a minimalist doorhandle. Two to three bends create the elements such as support, levers and the handle for a bottle opener. The tip and end of the opener are sawn at 30 degrees to give a better bearing surface.
Shao Chuan Lin, 6.Sem SuSe 2019
The framework of the lamp consists only of steel rods, without welding or special connecting tools. It is a principle similar to a fishing rod holder. Due to the weight of the two contact surfaces and the light bulb, the rod gets caught on the holder. This will make the posture and the lamp one. It can also be swiveled in any direction in any position. Depending on where the rod is mounted, angle and position change. It can be used on a desk, on a table or near a bed.

Charge, carry, hang or stand, done.
KEEP IT is a system for storing and transporting firewood, formally reduced to the very essential.
It can be used individually or expanded into an ensemble or wall covering. Using standard wall mounted hooks it can be hang on the wall or easily placed near the fireplace. The object is equally designed for the usual logs in 25 cm and 33 cm. Through the use of standardized material KEEP IT can be produced at low cost, without losing it’s elegance and functionality.

In cooperation with Ineke Hans, Professor of Design & Social Context at the Berlin University of the Arts, the Bauhaus Archive / Museum of Design will be presenting works by students, assignments and opportunities at its temporary location from 13 February to 7 March 2019 Rethinking design.
At 6:30 pm on February 13, 2019, there will be an open discussion with Richard van der Laken, the founder of the international design platform „What Design Can Do“ and other players who are opening up new spaces for committed design in the globalized world.
One hundred years after the founding of the Bauhaus, the question arises again of which competencies and foundations must be given to young designers in order to be able to provide concrete and useful contributions in today’s world. How should design approaches that have inspired design a hundred years ago as a societal shaping practice be updated in the context of global trade, financial market dominance, digitization and dwindling resources?
This question was at the center of the Instanbul Biennale 2018. Building on six short workshops during the Biennale, students of the Design & Social Context branch embarked on a search for new roles and alternative roles for designers. For their semester projects, the students have focused on a topic from the fields of digitization, old and new production processes, as well as global issues such as nutrition, waste or energy and trying to find innovative, creative solutions and new strategies for the underlying issues. In the temporary bauhaus-archiv they present their theses as well as the thoughts and processes that underpin them.

In Kooperation mit Ineke Hans, Professorin für Design & Social Context an der Universität der Künste Berlin, präsentiert das Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung an seinem temporären Standort vom 13. Februar bis zum 7. März 2019 Arbeiten von Studierenden, die Aufgaben und Möglichkeiten von Design neu denken.
Am 13. Februar 2019 um 18.30 Uhr folgt eine offene Gesprächsrunde mit Richard van der Laken, dem Gründer der internationalen Design-Pattform „What Design Can Do” und weiteren Akteuren, die neue Handlungsräume für engagiertes Design in der globalisierten Welt erschließen.
Hundert Jahre nach Gründung des Bauhauses stellt sich erneut die Frage, welche Kompetenzen und Grundlagen jungen Gestalter/innen mit auf den Weg gegeben werden müssen, um in der heutigen Welt konkrete und nützliche Beiträge liefern zu können. Wie müssen Gestaltungsansätze, die das Design vor hundert Jahren als gesellschaftsformende Praxis begründeten, im Kontext von globalem Handel, Herrschaft der Finanzmärkte, Digitalisierung und schwindenden Ressourcen aktualisiert werden?
Diese Frage stand im Zentrum der Instanbul Biennale 2018. Aufbauend auf sechs kurzen Workshops während der Biennale haben sich Studierende des Studienzweigs Design & Social Context auf die Suche nach neuen Aufgaben und alternativen Rollen für Designer begeben. Für ihre Semesterprojekte haben die Studierenden sich auf ein Thema aus den Bereichen Digitalisierung, alte und neue Produktionsprozesse, sowie globale Themen wie Ernährung, Abfall oder Energie konzentriert und versucht, innovative, kreative Lösungen und neue Strategien für die dahinterliegenden Fragestellungen zu finden. Im temporary bauhaus-archiv präsentieren sie ihre Abschlussarbeiten sowie die Gedanken und Prozesse, die diesen zugrunde liegen.

A brief foray into developing small souvenir objects for Macedonian craftsmen, in order to further their outreach and with the aim of sustaining chances of longevity in a highly industrial society.
Is design able to save endangered craft?
The design of this wine cooler combines two old crafts methods: basketry and ceramics. The material properties of the double-layered reed weave and terracotta have a thermal insulation effect and so the wine stays cool over and extended time.
If you think of Portugal you will probably imagine colorful ceramic tiles. What comes to mind when you think of Macedonia? In time of cultural fluctuation Macedonia tries to find its identity. These modular tiles are a suggestion inspired by traditional Macedonian pattern.

The project Cherga Chair combines traditional weaving techniques found in Macedonia and Southeast Asia to make a collapsable chair and sling bag.
Ranec is Macedonian and means backpack. The product is based on the traditional basket weaving knowledge. By adapting this old craft to manufacture a new product, the tradition can be preserved and simultaneously integrated into contemporary culture.

How are the products made that we use on a daily basis?
Many issues play a role in that: production method, material, social context, needs, economics, trends, etc.
But… production methods are changing and we move to a time where needs change too and become more individual: mass-customisation and small scale production becomes a viable alternative for mass-production.
Designers think about the ways we produce and have to think how products can be made by hand,as well as using laser cutters and modern open source technology.
But… how can labour intensive handmade methods work for today’s society and how can some of these crafty methods survive in our near future? Can we speed up processes and learn from industry or add designs that fit better to our current time?
Product Design students from the University of the Arts in Berlin were invited to Skopje’s Design Week as part of the Country in Focus program. Together with two Macedonian students they looked into the status quo of craft today and for four days they worked with ceramisist Aneta Popova and basket weaver Petar Blagojevski (Pero) in the Matka Valley on some proposals.
In the next days the students will visit industrial factories around Skopje, but the results of their research and outcomes on crafts are presented on 21 and 22 November at Public Room: 50 Divizija 22, 1000, Skopje

Lukas Wegwerth studied at the University of the Arts in Berlin where finished his Diplom in 2015.
He is interested in the folkloric work of Dagobert Peche, the honest carpentry of the shaker design movement, as well as the provocative work of Atelier van Lieshout. Lukas works primarily with found, organic materials, with which he explores growth and transformation, of memory and time.
In 2014 Lukas was the winner of the Interieur Award for Spaces in Kortrijk (BE). He has engaged with Atelier Luma in France to develop an Open Structures system that was used for all the display-units of the 4th Istanbul Design Biennial.
On 3 December Lukas will speak about his work and how it works when you are commissioned to take care of the display units for a Biennial.
7 November 2018:
Design & Social Context students more or less started their Winter Semester in Istanbul at the 4th Istanbul Design Biennial: a school of schools.
They worked for 6 days on the 6 topics of the Biennial that are seen as important for the future of design and designers:
1. Making & Unmaking 2. Earth & Disasters. 3. Currents & Networks. 4. Time & Lifetime 5. Digestion & Distribution. 6. Scales & Values.
On 3 November the first results were presented at Akbank Sanat as an informative Bazaar with:
– a selection of the individual researches that everyone presented each morning
– the object and models that were created and..
– a selection of proposals that came out at the end of each day
This film shows a rough compilation of pdfs and films of the outcomes of the first five days.

Design & Social Context students are a week in Istanbul at the 4th Istanbul Design Biennial: a school of schools
For the New Grounds project they worked 6 days on the 6 topics of the Biennial that are seen as important for the future of design and designers.
On 3 November there is a presentation in Istanbul of the first ideas with a selection of the individual researches that everyone presented each morning and a selection of proposals that came out at the end of each day.
After this brainstorm week the students will work out a final project for the end of their semester.
In spring 2019 these will be presented in the Bauhaus Archiv in Berlin that than celebrates 100 years of ’school‘.
The Celebrating Glass projects that Design & Social Context and HBK-saar developed in Meisenthal during 2018’s Summer Semester were exhibited in Prag during Designblok 2018.
The stand – designed by the students under supervision of Maciej Chmara – was nominated for a best stand award!
Unfortunately we did not will but it was a huge surprise and compliment to the students!

The Power House project of Summer Semester 2018 ended with a grand finale: the Sense & Sustainability Symposium. It took at UdK’s designtransfer at a very hot Sunday afternoon.
International guests; designer Tejo Remy, design critic Ed van Hinte, IKEA’s sustainability manager Melissa Ciardullo and material developer/designer Tjeerd Veenhoven spoke about the sense and nonsense of sustainability from their point of view.
Lucas Verweij moderated the questions and conversations that came up with wit and eagerness. Some UdK and Power House students spiced up the intermezzos with short introductions on their projects.

During the recent Summer Semester Professor Ineke Hans ran an intense glass project with her students. Based on their first discoveries – glass blowing introductions and visits to a.o.galleries and glass department of V&A London – her students started on their own projects and had a joint glass blowing workshop with students from HBK-Saarbrücken at Centre International d’Art Verrier in Meisenthal, France.
For a week the students from both design courses realised several glass projects that celebrate: that evoke happiness, that jubilate, that commemorate special moments, honour peculiar uses, specific functions, or just revel the material or the experiment.
In a second project the Berlin students worked with borosilicate and set upinteresting cooperations with the technicians of the TU glass-labs to realize innovative projects from this differenttype of heat-resistant technical glass.
Both UdK glass projects were shown in designtransfer early this summer, but from 25 till 29 October the Meisenthal projects from both UdK- Berlin and HBK-Saar are invited to be presented at international design festival DESIGNBLOK in Prague. This year Designblok celebrates its 20th anniversary and that fact formed the roots for the theme Celebrating Glass.
During their stay in Prague the Berlin and Saarbrücken students will visit the glass-master department of Prague’s Art Academy UPRUM where students and profs will share talks and experiences concerning glass and design.

We live in a networked society and for products we speak about the internet of things. With all that the digitisation in and around our houses grows. This is all very exciting, but it also means that more and more products with plugs and power are needed where we the ‘Paris agreements’ and really have to slow down on our use of energy in the future!
Young product designers today have to do more than just creating nice new objects. They also have to develop critical skills and visions on how to develop and produce goods in the future.
Spring Summer 2018 Professor Ineke Hans ran a the Power House projects with her students. They worked on the development of new products, projects, systems and strategies that offer sensible and sustainable solutions for our houses; either high-tech or low-tech.
The Power House projects took place in three stages.
> A short warming up project, including a visit to German Technikmuseum Berlin, exploring various old and new technologies, materials and strategiesresulting in outcomes tosupport future living.
> A short workshop with Dutch designer Marjan van Aubel on future technologies, including a visit to Berlin urban farm Infarm aiming for possible and speculative outcomes.
> The final Power House projects where shortprojects could be taken further, or a new project could be started aiming for powerful concepts for the house that make sense and that are sustainable.
The students were asked to support their work with films, facts, figures and strategies to back up their ideas and to give insight in their feasibility. In july the Power House Projects ended with Sense & Sustainability, a symposium with international guests.
From 20 till 28 October a selection of Power House projects will be presented at the acclaimed Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven under the wings of Ineke Hans’ personal presentations of her London Furniture Salons.

Workweek at 4th Design Biennial: a School of Schools (28/29 okt – 4 Nov)
New Problems ask for New solutions.
Design & Social Context’s Winter Semester will dive into the times we live in and the products, projects, strategies and services we need as a society now and in our near future. For that we will connect with Design Biennial Istanbul’s ‘School of Schools’ and the six topics that it highlighted for the future of design and design education.
Our aim will be to develop a product or a project that contributes to one of these new problems with a new and fitting solution.
About A School of Schools
With this year’s theme ‘School of Schools’ design critic and curator Jan Boelen, established the topic of the 4th Istanbul Design Biennial.
Over the course of six weeks, the Design Biennial will inhabit six venues (six of the city’s most iconic cultural institutions) with exhibitions on six themes (schools) that were declared as important future themes for design and education:
The Unmaking school at Akbank Sanat, a centre for music and contemporary arts – explores our creative instinct as a drive for innovation in production, the future of work and engagement with our cities.
The Currents school at Yapı Kredi Culture Centre – looks at technology and systems new flows, networks, distribution and hierarchy of information, both analog and digital.
The Scales school at Pera Museum, an important art gallery – digs into new standards, ethics and values for our society and will investigate institutionalised biases and assumptions.
The Earth school at Arter, a not-for-profit contemporary art space – will examine the relationship between humans and the planet, asking questions about disasters and evolution.
The Time school at SALT Galata, an art space in former bank – travels from hyper-speed and acceleration into the expansiveness of deep time, looks at contested pasts and speculative futures.
The Digestion school at Studio-X Istanbul, an urban think tank – learns from metabolic systems, patterns of consumption and food infrastructure to consider circular education and lifelong learning.

Planning
STEP 1: 16-22 Oktober
• research into the 6 Biennial topics and get organised for Istanbul.
STEP 2: 28/29 October – 4 November
• an intense workweek in the venues of Istanbul Design Biennal to dig into the project through the Design Biennal’s six topics. We will work for a week on these themes and present our first thoughts and outcomes in the Biennal during their last day on 4 November.
During this week we will work together with students from Istanbul and also enjoy the program and talks that take place in the context of the Design Biennial and its wrap up program.
STEP 3: 7 November – 13 February
• back in Berlin you work out one of the six first steps into a mature project till the end of the Winter Semester.
– For the 3rd semester the project will be an exercise in relating the world we live in to a clear project and some first encounters with strategic thinking.
– For the 5th+ semester the tasks are the same, but the demand for strategies to implement your project will be higher.
With students of HBK-Saar and professor Mark Braun we worked for a week at Centre International d’Art Verrier Meisenthal in France. All students realized several designs with the master glassblowers. The projects will be presented at designfestival Designblok in Prag 2018. The results of the workshop can be found here

WIRELESS CHARGED DEVICES
These two devices use the electromagnetic waves and sources of other electronics to be charged wireless and continuously.
One of them charges any other device, like your phone, on the go.
The other sends an emergency call with GPS data to the nearest emergency center, when the button is pressed.

Manifesto: Design – Technology
Design is the profession of dealing with, and in the best case smartly solving, problems in its widest meaning in a creative, elegant way. It is the progress and the process of a search for a new creation. The outcome is a combination of aspects of aesthetics, technologies, crafts and material. It can also implement social interactions and processes.
Technology searches for technical solutions and is mainly science driven. It demands a more sober look at things and does not want emotional interference to appear.
A designer is more of a generalist and an engineer more of a specialist.
Live with EM-field Electromagnetic field has already existed in our everyday life. With the technology of wireless charging, we can now get power from it. A house with EM-field will become a powerful house. But with EM-field can electronic equipment get power, and our user will spend more time on it, and lose our power. How can we feel good from EM-field? Or even get spiritual experience? By using of tDCS technology, we can use the EM-field to directly provocate our brain, and get different feelings through it.

AN IDEA FOR A SOCIETY WHICH STORES ITS ENERGY IN A DIFFERENT FORM
Sustainable energy delivers irregular amounts of electricity, storing it is difficult and inefficient. Transforming it into hydrogen gas can be a solution. Using the gas for everyday devices, as you would with batteries, could support a sustainable future.

Back in 2018, we knew about the micro-organism in the ground, who feed themselves from the leftovers of Plants. We also knew that their excretions are electrons and that by harvesting them we could actually create energy! Yet, nobody really seemed to care. The Amount of current produced was too little to be interesting for the big energy companies. But, what we saw in that technology, was the opportunity to live with nature in harmony again. And now on the 18. of May 2038, 20 years after we took up this crazy journey, we are proud to announce that Berlin is the first place in the World trusting in POWER-PLANT-TECHNOLOGY to enlighten the entire City.
A LIGHT THAT IS POWERED BY MOTHER EARTH
The EARTH BATTERY can be used everywhere where there is earth. It harvests power from soil excretions that turn out to be electrons! It’s still weak but has potential to become a versatile outdoor energy source in gardens, parks or simply on the balcony.

Sculp is a project that uses only paper and water for creating trays, bowls and plates. By using a kitchen sieve as a negative form and the paper pulp moulding process the prototypes are made. By drying in the oven the shapes get very stable and hard. The big aim is to make a step, stool or chair out of it by making it water resistant and by giving it a sound structure. The products are 100 % made out of recycable material and are 100 % recycable.

NATURE SHAPES AS FUNCTIONAL STRUCTURES
I don’t make material, I find them.
I don’t change their nature shape, I help them to become something.
I don’t separate from nature, I live with nature.
How can we use material with nature shape to build a functional structure?
First, I made some morphology research, and designed a floor lamp. And then I designed a special structure that can use small branched to make a functional frame, which can be used as the supporter of chairs or tables. In the future, maybe I can make some “semi-finished products”. Users can follow the using guide and find the main structure in the forest.

For UdK’s Rundgang 2018 designtransfer shows the exhibition ONE YEAR DESIGN & SOCIAL CONTEXT which shows three projects that Product Design Professor Ineke Hans realised with students in her first year at UdK Berlin.
It concerns a.o. two recent projects from Summer Semester:
In POWER HOUSE students explored powerful alternatives for future living in a networked society where the internet of things is a reality, where growing digitisation in and around our houses request more and more products with plugs and power while – at the same time – we really have to slow down on our use of energy in the future. New products, projects, systems and strategies were developed that offer sensible and sustainable solutions for our houses, high-tech or low-tech.
In CELEBRATING GLASS students discovered glass in all its aspects through study trips and workshops in Berlin, London and Meisenthal in France. By exploring glass blowing and lampworking to disforming glass in other ways they designed objects that celebratethe material: that evoke happiness, that jubilate, that commemorate special moments, honour peculiar uses, specific functions, or just revel the experiment. The glass projects that came about in a joint workshop with students of HBK-Saar in Meisenthal will be on show at Designblok Prag in Oktober 2018.
PROBE shows the presentation that Ineke Hans initially prepared with students to show UdK’s produkt design department at the IMM-fair in Cologne. It was than accompanied by a catalogue from acknowledged Berlin Studio Lambl/Homburger. At Cologne it was however selected to be present at the renown SaloneSatellite in Milan. During the Rundgang PROBE pops up a last time in Berlin with both student and graduate projects that show how UdK’s BA and MA Product Design students today explore:looking into newmaterials and techniques for design and aiming to find new typologies and products that fit to the time we live in and our future.
The Outside Showcase of designtransfer shows extracts from the EXPLORE & ACT pamphlet, that is a result from a two year Salon-project that Prof. Ineke Hans ran in London in 2015-2017 and that contains the roots that DESIGN & SOCIAL CONTEXT is based upon.
Ineke Hans’s first UdK projects WIR STELLEN UNS VOR (Digital Production / Analogue Production) and results from the DESIGN FOR WHAT MATTERS (Braun competition 2018) that took place in the Winter Semester, will be presented during Rundgang in Project Rooms 202 and 203 of Design & Social Context at Strasse des 17.

What are future topics for design, designers and consequently design education?
In 1990 The United Nations have set a set of millenium goals for 2015. Some of them were achieved and a number of issues has to be addressed with even more force to prepare our society for a better future with a stronger social and sustainable climate. Among them the big five: energy, food, water, waste and well-being.
When it comes down to designing the future systems to live in and the products to live with, the word sustainable pops up frequently. But it also seems to be one of the most abused words that serves as ‘greenwasher’ once products consist of recycled, green or biological material. There is much more to sustainability and there are many questions to ask: What is the global or local impact and carbon footprint of objects that we produce? Do we need more stuff? Should our economy change? What can new technology do for a sustainable future? Can we design sustainable at all? Sustainability has many faces and for designers it is sometimes hard to see the forest for the trees and to know what makes sense and not.
This Summer Semester the Power House Project will end during the ‘Rundgang’ with a symposium on the sense and nonsense of sustainability. International experts and designers are invited. Some UdK students and graduates will present their projects as short intermezzos.

short:
With his first work – Chest of Drawers, Ragchair and Milkbottle lamp – he made ‘his own world with what he encountered’ as Robinson Crusoë created his own paradise on his island. These first Droog Designs got worldwide recognition when terms such as cradle to cradle or sustainable design still had to find their way. Tejo Remy will speak about these early works, and how he relates to sustainability today.

Just like Robinson Crusoë was forced to survive on his island and had to invent things with the materials he found in his surroundings, Remy aims to ‘rediscover’ the value of everyday objects and materials.
If we would see all things that we surround ourselves with on a daily basis as potential material to build with, the world would then become a giant toolkit. Old blankets, empty milkbottles, a metal fence, the components of a never made IKEA-chest, tennisballs… Remy pulls objects out of their context and transforms them into something new, made by the logic of these objects themselves.
Why conceive new forms? Everything is already there, is the bacic thought. With recycling of materials, shapes and products Remy agitates against the excesses of the consumer-society that is exclusively focused on the newest of the newest and he reduces the footprint of materials.
short:
Works on new products made from new materials. Reseach involves textiles to be made from algae with H&M, flip-flops made from palmleather and a quest for new values for tulip pigments. As designer, researcher and material developer he aims to make Proofs of Principle into Sustainable Businesses. Tjeerd Veenhoven will speak about his work as sustainable materials researcher and some facts and figures.

Tjeerd Veenhoven is a product designer with a love for inventing materials and production techniques. In his mind being a designer is much more than just aesthetics or expressing trends, for him it is closer to activism. From his studio in the North of Holland he experiments with materials and crafts from all over the world, developing new products to strengthen local economies, ecological awareness and design thinking.
Tjeerd Veenhoven is 42 and founder of Studio Tjeerd Veenhoven (STV). Besides that he is part of several innovation platforms and advisory boards. Through best practice projects, workshops and consultancy he spreads awareness on biobased materials, sustainable transition and design methods. A best practice example is ‘Palmleather’, an award winning project that is exemplarily on how design can promote eco friendly materials and social responsibility. He was co-founder of HuisVeendam, an innovative company producing decorative interior laminates based on potato starch technology. And in 2016 he was awarded with the H&M Foundation Global Change award for his endeavours to make textiles from green algae. Tjeerd encourages designers to work where challenges are biggest and take a leading role towards a sustainable and more social society.

Melissa Ciardullo is a future orientated disruptor that focuses on innovative solutions for tomorrow’s design questions.
For her a more holistic approach to the design of products, services and projects is inevitably becoming the only option. We need to work together to implement the circular economy, to find the interconnectedness between humankind, nature and industry. Being process driven is one half, but being open to more is the everything.
Melissa is product developer and lead strategic developer of the initial product roadmap for IKEA´s first action based collection and led the largest strategic customer engagement initiative at IKEA – Live LAGOM. She designed and executed strategies to help customers move towards sustainable living practices across multiple countries with 1000s of participants.
She oversees internal change management processes that resulted in savings, new product and service delivery. Melissa also founded a community group and urban agriculture start-up: Plant.y.
short:

Ed van Hinte (1951) was trained as an industrial designer at TU Delft. He has written many articles and books (such as: Lightness, Eternally Yours, Katja Gruijters Food Design,Products that Last) and soon to appear Products that Flow). He is an acclaimed design critic, focusing on professional conventions.
His main interest is on finding ways to reduce material flows and energy consumption, which at the end of the day mainly serve to express identity. The most important ones: lightweight structures, waste reduction and long-term product value cultivation, or how to get the uttermost out of as little stuff and effort as possible. This implies searching beyond the limitations of circular thinking and setting pleasantly radical design challenges.
short:
Engages in all sorts of design activities. He writes, speaks and teaches about it; and is interested in social and product design, design thinking and design art. He is aninitiator and moderator of many projects and workshops in the field. He has published columns for Dezeen, written a book (The Designfactor with Haystack Press) as well as essays on the topic.

Philipp Weber graduated B.A. in 2012 from Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands and M.A. 2016 from UdK Berlin.
In his work he seeks to rethink human qualities within production processes. He cherishes original production processes and material knowledge that might get lost. Looking at hidden values and potential he tries to give new and relevant meaning to that. Philipp works with glass and old materials that he tries to give new life to.
In spring Phillip presented his work in the Kunstgewerbemuseum in Berlin and he was awarded the German Design Preis 2018 für upcoming talent.
During the Summer Semester of 2018 the students at Design & Social Context from 4th Semester and up work on several projects for which Philipp’s work can inspire.
For the cafetaria project a number of students work on a welcoming, comforting, working, relaxing and functioning area within the Design Department’s cafetaria at Strasse des 17. Juni.
How do you create a space with a specific taste and what furniture do you use to support that?
As a short research they checked out some co-working spaces, flex-spaces and cafe’s with atmosphere in Berlin and we jumped on our bikes!
From 16 till 22 April 2018 the Product Design course of Universität der Künste Berlin presented itself at SaloneSatellite, the section for schools and recent graduates of the international acclaimed Salone del Mobile in Milano.
Under the title PROBE both student and graduate projects showed how UdK’s BA and MA Product Design students today explore: looking into new materials and techniques for design and aiming to find new typologies and products that fit to the time we live in and our future.
The projects that were presented can be found here.
Before their trip to Milan the student had a workshop with Gunda Siebke of Schöner Wohnen, on communication skills to be well prepared for visitors of the UdK stand.
Through short films and social media their whereabouts where documented, see for instance #udkmilano2018.
Below you find impressions of the presentation in Milan.
