New Design from Düsseldorf

Spaces for Fresh Thinking in Design

Produced by the Faculty of Design at the University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf, the exhibition and catalogue New Design from Düsseldorf present seventy-five nominated projects by graduates of the programs in New Craft Object Design, Communication Design, Retail Design, and Exhibition Design. Harnessing techniques of art as well as design, the works offer innovative reflections on contemporary societal concerns including identity, gender, feminism, sustainability, education, and science. They interrogate, redefine, and reinterpret design’s role and the efficacy of its tools in a constantly changing society in a sustained effort to find answers to society’s questions and open up spaces for fresh thinking.
