Gerüst

German artist Philipp Hennevogl talks about his linocut prints, that baffle with their insanely intricate details.

Tokyo Clash

Tokyo is famous for its apparently chaotic mix of old and new, tradition and trash, stillness and shrillness. An exciting and inspirational place for any designer, that Ralf Bähren walks you through in his brand new book, Tokyo Clash. The book will be on sale on the evening, and is available on Amazon.

Hirschblüte

German-Japanese designer Akari Luig tells the story of her Deer Vase, developed from initial sketches to finished product in 6 month, together with porcellaine artist Maria Volokhova. The Deer Vase is available on CharlesAndMarie.com.

Quatschtronauten

Christian Ridder recently escaped from managing innovations projects at Sony and Deutsche Telekom. But, as soon as he emptied his mind and deleted all thoughts about corporate business, the Quatschtronauts started to spam his mental inbox. These mice-like creatures just can't stop developing „fantastic“ inventions, based on quasi-scientific theories. This talk will present some of their visionary ideas.

In't Veld

Berlin's renowned chocolate pioneer Holger In't Veld has been producing and selling exclusive gourmet confectionary for the past eight years.

This year however started with a storm - while he successfully launched his book "Schokoladen-Rebellen" to critical acclaim, he had to watch his business sinking.

Holger will talk about what it means to sail against the wind of mainstream chocolate business, read from his book, and - as a very rare treat - prepare cocoa beans at the event for you to taste. His book and chocolate will be both on sale.
