Events: Design Mai

The close relationship between design and urbanity are to be at the center of this year’s DESIGNMAI : the central theme is DESIGNCITY. Design is seen as an increasingly important factor in the location and structure of our urban landscape. In Berlin these links are extremely clear, last but not least therefore in January 2006 Berlin was appointed as “City of Design” by the UNESCO.
Invitation from Berlin's Mayor:
These days, Berlin has become the centre of a creative new beginning. Where once the wall transsected the city, we now see redeveloped quarters brimming with life. Berlin’s new centre experiences a singular wave of creation. The city stands for inventiveness and a pronounced willingness to experiment, for subculture and diversity, for nonconformism and fresh approaches. With this unique mix, Berlin manages to attract creatives of all shapes and guises. Among the city’s East/West flavour, hip cafes and groundbreaking scene they discover an environment that evidently inspires them more than anywhere else. In short: Berlin is well on its way to establish itself as a hot international capital of style.
