Last weekend a very interesting exhibition opened at Direktorenhaus. As the name suggests Handmade in Germany focuses on design and art made in Germany and feature the work of designers such as Fiona Bennet and Bless, artists like Olaf Hajek and Andreas Maier, product designers such as Valentin Loellmann and Sarah Böttger, German manufactures like Deutsche Werkstätte Hellerau and Fürstenberg, as well as many more. I think it’s a really nice showcase of German craftsmanship worth seeing. The exhibition is on display until November 14th 2012. Get a preview of the featured art, design and their makers after the jump.
