Designcluster brings together four of Asia’s leading metropolises:Tokyo(Japan), Seoul(Korea), Hong Kong(China) and Shanghai(China). the exhibition focuses on young experimental design evolving at the crossroads between various disciplines. the designers’ sources of inspiration flow freely between zen and high technology. thus, the contribution of the Tokyo Musashino Art University comprises objects that recall the spirit of abstract beauty of the traditional Japanese Karesansui gardens into everyday life. with the help of high-tech electronics, Sukwoo Lee from Seoul combines the interaction of audio and light frequencies to create a futuristic lamp design. one of the main aspects of the exhibition is the highlighting of cultural and social influences within the various asian countries, where differences in lifestyle and culture sometimes prove to be much wider than expected. the exhibition will be curated by Joerg Suermann. rather than an trade fair dedicated to produced design, Suermann perceives the exhibition as an overview show that simultaneously deals with young, innovative design, experimental design concepts, and utopia. within this context, he collaborates with local curators such as designer and art director Chio Kim from the Seoul Design Festival. In this way, each design metropolis receives a focus of its own and will deal with individual topics.

we are looking forward to party with you and our asian friends and designers!
Stay wild*
