New Product Evolutions from the Designlabs of
Aisslinger, Braun, Culture Form, e27, ett la benn, llot llov, Vogt
During Milan week of design (April 14.-19, 2010), seven designers and creative labs from Berlin will gather for the exhibition „Made in Berlin – Open Process“. Coordinated by the contemporary design platform DMY Berlin in collaboration with Create Berlin, the exhibition will reveal new prototypes and innovative concepts for future living spaces.
Set up in the environment of a garage where tools, machines and materials reflect the daily work life, Made in Berlin – Open Process exhibition provides a closer look at the design processes, going from the very first inspiration and concept, beyond various testing phases to the prototypes.
It illustrates the design philosophy and method of the participants - Culture Form, e27, ett la benn, llot llov, Mark Braun Design, Oliver Vogt und Studio Aisslinger – who have been selected by the curators Mateo Kries (Vitra Design Museum), Flip Sellin (Create Berlin) and Ake Rudolf (DMY Berlin) in consideration of their portfolios and new concepts.

Objects on show
Tokio – flatware series
Contrast – porcelain series
Culture Form
Culture Form provides insight on how the porcelain and flatware series for the food service industry are designed. Reminiscent of shell fragments that have been cut open, the porcelain series Contrast expands the possibilities in presenting culinary creations.
The avant-garde character of the flatware series Tokio is conveyed by the tension, flattened surfaces, and precision of its design.
Pit – table lamp
e27
The function of the products designed by e27 often is based on complex concepts. Transformed into an abstract shape, these concepts become the characterizing element of the objects. The function of Pit lamp is based on the physical lever principle, making it become an easily adjustable task light.
Malva – furniture collection
ett la benn
Malva is a furniture collection inspired by the natural qualities of cellulose and viscose: the objects are generated by the forming of moistened sponge cloth and its subsequent air drying on a mould.
By simply compressing or connecting several components, numerous variations and extensions of Malva can be generated.
Moreover, the translation of this customary material into individual design pieces through basic processes of forming and drying measures up to the highest demands in sustainability and eco friendliness: all objects are not only compostable, but also reversible through mere immersion into water.
Clark – a desk
llot llov
Clark provides storage which is not about filing or sorting but simply stacking. Everything stays within reach and does not disappear in drawers or cupboards. Clark is an object which picks up on the most common ways of keeping objects on your desk and enables you to do this in a variety of ways. The name has been inspired by the English word 'clerk'. A clerk can be found in banks, offices or councils and despite 'Clark' being an extremely well organized desk there is nothing bureaucratic about it.
Lift – table series
Mark Braun Design: Mark Braun
Lift table series, presented at „Made in Berlin – Open Process“ is a result of the designer’s interest in plastics and rotational moulding. The design of the Lift series is based on a „on-on / on-stand by“ concept, this means that each table offers two tops that can be used in different ways one from the other.
The primary geometric shape and the combination of complementary colours confer a unique character to Lift table series and reveal a new quality of plastic materials.
Spherology – customizable seating installation
Self - shelf
Prof. Oliver Vogt
Self is a shelf that is organizing a person and his collection. The object is made from polished stainless steel and cardboard.
Spherology is a seating installation that is easily made and transformed by the customer. The installation blends rubber and nylon.
stitching furniture – lamp, stool, armchair and bowl series
design meets German tradition, edition by Werner Aisslinger 2010
Studio Aisslinger: Prof. Werner Aisslinger et al
The "stitching furniture" project combines new high technologies, applied to traditional stitching techniques, with a collection of edited textile objects.
The objects of the "stiching furniture" collection – armchairs, stools, bowls and lamps – are “plotted” onto a carrier by the means of a programmable stitching machine in order to create a “pop-up-object”, that raises from the surface as if it was extruded into its third dimension. The stitched textile honeycomb structures are resin-impregnated in order to make them rigid and constructive. The result is a series of extremely light and transparent objects, that seem to float in the space as textile 3D-meta-networks.

e27: Tim Brauns, Hendrik Gackstatter, Fax Quintus
The design agency e27 was established by Tim Brauns, Hendrik Gackstatter and Fax Quintus to incorporate different areas of design, including web, graphic, corporate and product design into a consolidated design environment. The agency’s three designers tackle new product design with an eye to clever function and simple solutions, creatively integrating feasible solutions into new contexts. Added value lies in the potential of combining the methodical approach of multimedia projects with the development process applied to three-dimensional products.

Pit – table lamp
ett la benn: Oliver Bischoff, Danilo Dürler
Intuition, emotion and crossing lines – this is what our design is about. As young Berlin studio focussing on product and interior design, ett la benn develops furniture and spatial structures that abandon current patterns of thought and design. ett la benn’s goal is not to create just another chair, shelf or table – but rather to make people participate in the objects we design. By handling and possibly rearranging the product, they are involved into the actual creation process, resulting in the greatest possible benefit for each user.
Since the formation of the agency in 2007, ett la benn stands for democratic products that stand out due to their high level of innovation, and that offer new approaches in terms of materials, functioning and applications.

Malva – furniture collection
llot llov
The office llot llov with headquarters in Berlin- Kreuzberg was founded in 2006 by Ania Bauer, Jacob Brinck, Lena Hirche and Ramon Toshiro Merker. The partners come from various fields of design. Their projects focus mainly on the conceptual work driving product and interior design. llot llov say: „Because of our love for old things, our fancy for the ordinary and our joy in finding new interpretations, every piece of our work bears llot lov’s special signature. Our idea of design is multidimensional: we avoid the drawing of boundaries, setting our preference on the experimental. llot llov look at the world, take risks, learn, understand and interpolate the world in an illogical, intuitive and creative way.“

Studio Aisslinger: Prof. Werner Aisslinger et al
The works of designer Werner Aisslinger cover the spectrum of experimental, artistic approaches, including industrial design and architecture. He delights in making use of the latest technologies and has helped introduce new materials and techniques to the world of product design like in his unique gel furniture. The "Juli chair" was the first item of furniture to use a new type of foam called "polyurethane integral foam" and became the first German chair to be selected as a permanent exhibit at the MoMA in New York since 1997. In the process he has created striking designs and received awards from all over the world — from Milan's Compasso d'Oro to the Design Prize of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Red Dot Award or FX Award in the UK.
His work is exhibited in the permanent collections of international museums such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the French Fonds National d´Art Contemporain in Paris, the Museum Neue Sammlung in Munich, and the Vitra Design Museum in Weil, Germany.
