DESIGN POSITIONS
This year’s edition of POSITIONS Berlin Art Fair features eleven selected Berlin-based product designers. This thematic expansion, curated by Julian Daynov, marks the fair‘s first foray into a dedicated section on contemporary design.
The presentation seeks to shine a spotlight on innovative positions found at the intersection of design, art, and applied craft. It offers insights into Berlin‘s diverse and dynamic design scene and will display works that exhibit an engaging interplay between form, material, and function - producing fresh interpretations on everyday objects.
DESIGN POSITIONS offers a platform to a new generation of designers and creates a space for dialogues between contemporary art and design to take place.

Daisies
A new generation takes space, represented by SpinnereiGalleries, Leipzig.
We are delighted to present a selection from this exciting exhibition project, featuring nine SpinnereiGalleries from Leipzig.
Daisies is a format that aims to open up young art to people – and people to young art – in the most accessible way possible. The team and the curators are just as young as the artistic positions shown in the galleries. In this format, generations learn from one another and get to know each other.
