...Over the years of these dispatches design weeks in Berlin, in a wider sense design and designers in Berlin, have played a very important role, as can be gauged from the tag cloud in the footer: Berlin is one of our most regularly used tags, and DMY Berlin occurs more often than a great many designers, manufacturers, fairs and other festivals... A DMY Berlin that back in the day we used to essentially live in; like some awkward, artless, commensalistic symbiont we would spend days on end drifting round the event, and indeed round Berlin, feeding, hungrily, from it...

Or the Condition of the City" at the Werkbundarchiv – Museum der Dinge, Berlin, Germany Following their enforced relocation, a relocation enforced by the purchase of the building they called home by an anonymous investor group, a building, perhaps not unrelatedely, in a gentrification ready corner of Kreuzberg, the Werkbundarchiv – Museum der Dinge, Berlin, reopen in their new home, or at least reopen their new temporary exhibition space, the new permanent exhibition is due to open in November, with an exhibition that unquestionably, and joyously so, deliciously so, is a response to that enforced relocation...

Otti Berger. Weaving for Modernist Architecture at the Temporary Bauhaus-Archiv, Berlin

...Weaving for Modernist Architecture the Temporary Bauhaus-Archiv, Berlin, allow one to begin to approach appreciations of what both Otti Berger understood as fabric, "and further, what fabric in space is", and in doing so not only enable differentiated perspectives on Weaving and Modernist Architecture but allow Otti Berger to begin to retake her place on the helix of design, and architecture, (hi)story... Following, as best we can ascertain, the completion of her studies in Zagreb, Berger travelled in 1926 to Germany where she both sought help in Berlin and Jena for hearing damage suffered in her teenage years2, and, in January 1927, enrolled at Bauhaus Dessau...

...With the exhibition All Hands On: Basketry the Museum Europäischer Kulturen, Berlin allow for, demand, a critical reassessment... And reflections on basketry and architecture also encouraged via a presentation of examples of the use of basketry by non-human animals in their architecture, primarily the various species of the so-called weaver birds, alongside examples of the use of basketry by human animals without the assistance of architects, including examples of the many living root bridges to be found in the forests of the state of Meghalaya in northeastern India, again one presumes India, Asia, and not India, Europe, and alongside examples of the use of basketry by human architect animals such as the proposed Haus der Zukunft, House of the Future, in Berlin by Office for Living Architecture, OLA, a composition in steel, glass, concrete and trees as a union of the nature constructed world and human constructed world to a single inseparable entity...

Hej rup! The Czech Avant-Garde at the Bröhan Museum, Berlin

...The Czech Avant-Garde the Bröhan Museum, Berlin, provide for an introductory course in inter-War Czechoslovakian... Design for Socialist Spaces at the Kunstgewerbemuseum, Berlin, combined with a general rejection in western Europe of eastern European design, has led to the relatively poor appreciations today of not only the (hi)story of design in nations such as the former Czechoslovakia, including popular appreciations of how the relative brevity of the Czechoslovakian avant-garde influenced and informed post-War Czechoslovakian designers, for it invariably did, even as reaction against it, but also leads to the relatively poor appreciations of contemporary design in the lands of the former Czechoslovakia...

The Historia Supellexalis: "T" for Thonet

...Thonet A Michael; A Twist; A Portfolio of Patents According to the Felsbilder of the Nymphs of Loreley, that most important of sources of information of the earliest (hi)story of the contemporary Rheinland, the Thonet arose in the community of Boppard, a community framed on the one side by a series of swinging aqueous curves as the Rhein meanders its way slowly through the metamorphic rock of the Rhenish Massif, and on the other by a range of peaks of that Massif on whose flowing curving sides innumerable wild vines sweep and curve vertically and horizontally... And thus a Boppard that for a great many centuries was essentially cut off from the surrounding communities, and where the Thonet lived a quiet existence fishing, bee-keeping and building chairs defined by their sweeping, curving, swinging, meandering frames whose origins no-one could explain but which had been constructed in Boppard for as long as anyone could remember...
