15 Berlin design offices present themselves at this year's Milan furniture exhibition and trade fair "Salon del Mobile" (16th to 21st of April, 2008) under the name "made in Berlin". The presentation will be the biggest appearance of Berlin-made Design shown internationally up to date.
Placed in the local popular design district "Zona Tortona", the German product designers will show and answer to an international audience of manufacturers, buyers and journalists. The exhibition is curated by Werner Aisslinger (product designer) and Francois Burkhardt (Design theorist, author, Art Director at Thonet and former curator of the Centre George Pompidou, Paris). The presentation of Berlin in the design city of Milan is unmistakable and characteristic: the exhibits will be shown in the "Berlin Design Dome", with the dome being a symbiosis of the Berlin TV tower as a well-known symbol for the city, in conjunction with a geodetical dome tent. The show will be on for a week.
