DMY International Design Festival at Airport Berlin Tempelhof

All exhibitions and events of the DMY International Design Festival 2011 will take place from June 1 -5 at former city airport Berlin Tempelhof. Its majestic entrance hall, spacious and light-flooded aviation hangars and the sheer endless open space of the former landing strips will again provide an impressive backdrop for the festival’s events and exhibitions. The festival will once again occupy more than 11.000 sqm. New talents as well as professional designers and renowned brands will launch and present new works within the field of product design – be it furniture solutions, interior accessories, lighting, industrial design or multidisciplinary endeavours. The participating exhibitors will be selected by an international festival jury including renowned designers Jerszy Seymour, Werner Aisslinger and Jurgen Bey.

Festival Events

Numerous events will frame the presentations of the exhibition. The various events offer insights into contemporary currents within the design fields and give designers the opportunity to get in contact with designers, manufacturers and distributors in a concentrated, yet cheerful and relaxed atmosphere. The symposium explores current and critical themes in expert panels and  lectures. Next to the thematic focus of the symposium, the country focus 2011 will give firsthand insights into the design habitat of Finland. Via individual and group showcases, expert contributions, public and professional programmes as well as events, designers, institutions and curators will reveal little known aspects into the design philosophy and outstanding accomplishments of their country. The designer dinner is an integral part of the country focus inviting all exhibitors of the festival and influential representatives of industry, politics and culture to an evening of culinary delicacies of the country in focus.

In cooperation with the Bauhaus Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung, we will anew honour the three most exceptional products and projects among all submissions of participants. The winners of the DMY Awards will be announced at the evening Award Ceremony during the festival. Furthermore the Maker Lab and various Workshops will give access to new technologies and materials during the festival and invite to share, learn and create new techniques, design strategies and attitudes.

With over 700 exhibiting designers from over 30 nations and its dense program of far-reaching, yet concentrated events, the DMY International Design Festival has grown into a genuine international hub for the design scene.

Malcolm Gladwell on spaghetti sauce | Video on TED.com

"Howard fundamentally democratized the way we think about tomato sauce". Why does he use "democratize"? 

If gov't protects the big corporations, de facto becoming Rulers of the Spaghetti Sauce Market, then democratizing entails legislating a periodic vote for ONE sauce, good enough for all Super Market Citizens. In stead, Howard enabled RULERS to step down, *remove* the notion that elite rulers make best decisions for all, and instead encouraged big corporations to increase # of choices! 

Since RULERS = ARCHY, his quote would better reflect reality by replacing democracy w/: "Howard fundamentally anarchized the way we think about tomato sauce". No top-down enforcement necessary, just a better way of communicating with large #'s of spaghetti eaters :)
