Intro
From darning socks to medical prostheses: Craftmanship has many faces. Visitors of «Handwerk & Design» 2027 will be able to see this for themselves. Running parallel to the Internationale Handwerksmesse from 10th to 14th March 2027., at the Fairground Munich, «Handwerk & Design» 2027 will showcase handmade premium products made of wood and concrete, silver, plastic, ceramics, glass, and textiles. In Hall B1, designers from Bavaria and around the world will get the stage they deserve.
 
Craftsmanship holds the world together. This remains true even in times of digital transformation. That is why «Handwerk & Design» is more dedicated to the future than ever before: What materials do we want to surround ourselves with in the future? How can digital technologies help ensure that craftsmanship remains viable in the future? The exhibitors show us how: they present unique pieces and small series with a special focus on design. Because craftsmanship not only has to function, it can also be beautiful.

SCHMUCKmünchen
The SCHMUCKmünchen special show is unique worldwide: for over 65 years, it has showcased the most innovative works in the field of artistic designer jewellery. Artists, gallery owners, collectors, and jewellery enthusiasts from all over the world travel to Munich every year specifically for this exhibition.

The curated special show SCHMUCKmünchen is framed by the stands of FRAME: Jewellery galleries from all over the world present top-class international artists here, including galleries from Canada and Korea, Sweden and South Africa, Germany and the Netherlands.

TALENTEmünchen – Meister der Zukunft
The special show TALENTEmünchen – Meister der Zukunft focuses on the future of creative craftsmanship. Young designers up to the age of 35 from a wide variety of trades will showcase their skills here, often as part of their final projects: from textile work to glass, ceramics, furniture making, and paper. Here, the audience gets an impression of the questions that move young designers, the materials they prefer, and how they are further developing traditional approaches.


The printed city map will be available at the trade fair. The online version will be available from mid-February 2026 on the website www.ihm-handwerk-design.com
