CHANGING PERSPECTIVES: YOUNG DESIGNERS TAKE THE FLOOR;

At the TALENTE - Meister der Zukunft special show in Hall B1, only designers under the age of 35 will have their say, showing what this generation of designers is working on.

(INTER)PLAY OF MATERIALS

From textiles, glass and ceramics to wood and paper - at the TALENTE special show, visitors can feast their eyes on the many shapes and colours. The artworks on display show what moves this generation, what materials interest them and what makes them different from their artistic predecessors. They offer a glimpse into the future of craftsmanship, artisanry and design. This year's central themes are sustainability and recycled materials, the extinction of species and the consequences of wars, as well as attempts to offer solutions to specific problems.

92, 27, 12 - THE NUMBERS OF "TALENTS – MEISTER DER ZUKUNFT 2024"

In 2024, "TALENTE – Meister der Zukunft" presented creative works by 92 up-and-coming designers from 27 different countries and 12 different disciplines. Participants from China, Iran, Israel, Croatia, Colombia and Lithuania were also represented with their works. The exhibits reflected the continuing interest in textiles, which has already been evident in previous years, as well as the growing enthusiasm for glass as an extremely versatile material.

Winners of the "TALENTE - Masters of the Future" Awards 2024

The ideas of numerous creative minds from various countries were honoured with the prestigious "TALENTE – Meister der Zukunft" Award 2024. You can see who won here:

Talente – Masters of the Future 2024 Award Technique

Daniela Cimen
Germany

Daniela Cimen's "Re·in·Waste" project impressed the jury with its innovative ways of production, application and different textures. A water-repellent, biodegradable coat is developed from a biological waste material while retaining the memory of its original material. The jury recognised approaches for further material samples and possible applications in this project.

 

Talente – Masters of the Future 2024 Awards Design

 

Glass

Max Greiner
Germany

The project "About Slag" by Max Greiner interested the jury because of its serial and experimental character, and also because of its questioning of the essence, the idea of vessels. Another argument was the handling of material expectations – how a beautiful, aesthetically designed object is created from a seemingly ugly and dirty raw material.

 

Ceramics

Charlotte Marabito
Germany

What fascinated the jury about Charlotte Marabito's "Performative Extrusion" project was the material research, the playful, experimental character and the combination of an actually mechanical process with manual labour. The disruption, the intervention in the traditional process of extrusion was honoured.

 

Ceramics

Lydia Soojin Park
South Korea/Norway

Lydia Soojin Park's ceramic objects appealed for their aesthetic qualities and narrative character. In particular, the work with different layers, the combination of different patterns and colours in one work as well as reflections on aspects of traditional ceramics were highlighted.

 

Metal

Soohyun Chou
South Korea

Soohyun Chou's vessels are characterised by rigour, strength, reflection and precise consideration as well as constructive clarity. In their monumentality, powerful radiance and relief design, they seem to be characterised by an almost architectural quality.

 

Jewellery

Benedict Haener
Switzerland

Benedict Haener's works from the "Sugar Free"-series fascinate with their illusionistic effect. The jury liked the at first glance funny element, which on closer inspection gives way to an appreciation of the quality of the craftsmanship, the subtlety and the handling of materials. Children's jewellery made from sweets is taken up here and the aspect of artificiality is played with.

 

Jewellery

Masoumeh Rezaeilouyeh
Iran / Germany

Masoumeh Rezaeilouyeh's necklace "Woman, Life, Freedom" touched the jury because of its political content and the quality of its craftsmanship. The heaviness of the content-related information contrasts with the fineness of the materials and the delicacy of the technique. The jury praised the handling of traditions, the feminist standpoint and the continuation of the communication of female messages in the textile medium.

 

Textile

Damien Ajavon
France / Norway

In Damien Ajavon's work, the jury appreciated the diversity of information levels, including art history, gender issues, cultural aspects, colonialism debates, Norway. The fluidity in terms of identity, activity, art and craft as well as art history is fascinating.
