Design Nation celebrates its launch in Berlin – with a festival of design: what a start! Berlin has shown how vibrant design can be: people, ideas and forms came together in the beautiful industrial halls of Station Berlin on Luckenwalder Straße. A space full of energy, conversation and discovery. Our round table – deep red, inviting, sensual – quickly became the centre of attention. Here, people discussed, laughed and tried things out. Here, what drives us came into being: genuine exchange about design, materials and attitudes. We look back with gratitude on an inspiring premiere – with an audience that was as diverse and curious as design itself.
