DMY International Design Festival Berlin, 11-14 June 2015
The motto of the 13th edition of the DMY International Design Festival Berlin is 'Back to the Future'. This implies a step 'back to the roots' while at the same time moving towards a further development of the festival content. New exhibition moduli, a new internet address, more content and last but not least, a change of location all promise to make this year's festival a very exciting event. With a new competition and more attractive general conditions, DMY puts an increased focus on the new talent. The introduction of a professional visitors´day aims to promote and enhance exchange within the design business. On site, design aficionados are offered the opportunity to purchase design objects in the DMY store. A special focus is dedicated to Berlin as a design location.
