Handwerk & Design 2011

«Handwerk & Design» presents skilled craftsmanship, first-class fine arts and design, but it also offers a platform to those with a design orientation who cross between these areas. Particular value is attached to the cooperation with a number of technical colleges who contribute to making the link between crafts, fine arts and design visible, tangible and comprehensible.

With the participation of various German arts and crafts associations, joint international stands and galleries, «Handwerk & Design» shows contemporary crafts, jewellery, applied art and design as well as individual fashion. The highlights are the special shows EXEMPLA, TALENTE, SCHMUCK and MEISTER DER MODERNE.
