Handwerk & Design 2017

TALENTE
is an international competition for young skilled craftspeople in the field of design and technology. The special exhibition is a reflection of the ideas of young people and is characterised by their experimental approach to materials and craft techniques. The best entries win the highly desirable TALENTE prize.

MEISTER DER MODERNE
This exhibition presents works of contemporary design by internationally famous masters of handicrafts and applied art. Around 33 artists from 10 different countries present works created in the fields of glass, wood, ceramics, metal and textiles.

SCHMUCK
This contemporary jewellery forum enjoys a worldwide reputation as an international exhibition and has been held since the year 1959. Many of the works on display have been created by young goldsmiths, frequently still at the apprentice stage of their career, as well as by established and well-known jewellery designers.
