Everyone knows the drink kombucha.
The symbiotic culture of yeast and bacteria forms the basis of a sustainable homemade beverage beyond the global soft-drink industry. Instead of consuming the kombucha, however, the by-product of the process is used: the membrane formed during fermentation. Like a second skin, it clings to the body. Its appearance is unusual; its smell is intense; the cool, absorbent, jelly-like material presses against the skin, producing gurgling and smacking sounds as we move. Nothing about it feels ordinary.
The work aims to provoke reflection on skin, clothing, protection, and vulnerability. Through the aesthetic attraction of the material, movement, and physicality, questions emerge that often remain outside our everyday perception.

Currents Berlin (@currents.berlin) is right around the corner, running from September 10–12, 2026. The new, decentralized design festival founded by Laura Ewert (@lauraewertofficial) and Jasmin Jouhar (@jasminjouhar) is focused on furniture, interior, and product design. With over 60 locations and participants across the city, it’s almost impossible to see it all. That’s why we’ve put together a list of our top go-to spots and events. Find a short version here and a long one with links at thethingmagazine.com.

We love supporting people who try new things. It’s a risk, and in our opinion, that deserves backing. That’s why we are media partners for this endeavor and sat down with Laura and Jasmin for an interview to gain insight into their process and how Currents finally came to be. Visit thethingmagazine.com for the full conversation.

If you want to support emerging talent during the festival, the premiere of seetech (@_seetech) should be at the top of your list. For the first time, the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin (@kunsthochschuleberlin) is launching its new “seetech label,” showcasing exemplary work from its prototyping labs and alumni to highlight how academic research evolves into real-world design.

We love a good design discourse. That’s why we’re not only highlighting the lineup of talks across the Currents Agenda, we’re also hosting one ourselves. It’s called “Berlin—The Lost Creative Capital?” and explores whether the city still holds potential as a cultural hub. Our guest lineup is nothing short of Berlin design royalty, featuring Laura Ewert (Currents Co-Founder), designer Hanne Willmann (@hannewillmann), and Sophie Langhorst (@sphlnghrst), a design master’s student and longtime employee of Sabine Marcelis.

The exhibition “(Behälter)”, in cooperation with Magazin (@magazin_com), explores the origins of design through one of humanity’s fundamental need: storage. Conceived by Martina Dimitrova (@dimitrovamartini), the exhibition brings together well-loved storage objects, and their everyday contents, pulled directly from the personal lives of local creatives.

A look back at dreams, ideas & prototypes @wdc.campus

Auf über 1.200 m² im @museumangewandtekunst brachte dreams, ideas & prototypes mehr als 100 Arbeiten junger Talente aus Design und Architektur sowie Forschender aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen zusammen. Projekte regionaler Partnerhochschulen trafen auf Beiträge nationaler und internationaler Bildungseinrichtungen und zeigten, wie vielfältig die Perspektiven auf unsere gemeinsame Zukunft sein können.

Im Mittelpunkt standen Fragen rund um Austausch & Miteinander, Gesundheit & Care, Beständigkeit & Umwelt, Räume & Teilhabe sowie Bewegung & Mobilität: Wie wollen wir zusammenleben? Wie nutzen und gestalten wir unsere Räume? Wie übernehmen wir Verantwortung für unsere Umwelt und füreinander? Und wie können wir Zukunft gemeinsam gestalten?

Für diese Vielzahl an Themen und Projekten hat @studiojonathanradetz eine modulare Gerüststruktur als räumlichen Rahmen entwickelt. Sie schafft Orientierung, öffnet Blickachsen und gibt den unterschiedlichen Exponaten ihren Platz, ohne sich selbst in den Vordergrund zu stellen.

Dabei wurde auch die Idee der Kreislaufwirtschaft Teil der Gestaltung: Das Gerüst wurde geliehen, die verwendeten Platten sind gebrauchte Spanplatten. So verbindet die Ausstellungsarchitektur Wiederverwendung und Anpassungsfähigkeit mit einem flexiblen räumlichen System.

What if design’s most interesting ideas don’t come from one discipline, but from the space between two?

That question became the foundation of a shared practice, and eventually, a book. We’re excited to welcome Corinna Gratzl & Julia Klass, Co-Founders of In Search Of, to FORM / FUTURE!

Corinna and Julia met during their Master’s in Communication Design at Lake Constance. Corinna is trained as an interior architect with experience in New York and Berlin, Julia is shaped by media management, PR and corporate communications. Together, they founded In Search Of, a practice behind spatial installations, participatory interventions, and cross-disciplinary projects, most recently curating the WDC Campus for World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026.

Their talk builds on their book Dialog Beyond Disciplines, tracing the roots and approaches shaping cross-disciplinary practice today. They argue that design’s answer to societal challenges isn’t found in isolated expertise. It’s found in dialog beyond disciplines.

Catch the full talk on 10 September 2026 at Tempelhof Airport. Get your ticket via the link in bio.

FORM ⁄ FUTURE is an initiative launched as part of Berlin’s designation as a UNESCO City of Design (@design_cities). Funded by the Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy, and Public Enterprises (@senwienbe) | Implemented by Berlin Partner | Curated by 3STN (@3stn_berlin).

OUT NOW & LONGLISTED @stiftungbuchkunst

The publication „Dialog Beyond Disciplines“ moves between disciplines – where boundaries blur, perspectives shift, and new ways of thinking about design emerge through exchange. As part of a joint project, the two authors and designers Corinna Gratzl and Julia Klass visited renowned design studios and institutions in Italy, the Netherlands, France, and Germany.

There, they interviewed and photographed designers and experts, who work across disciplines at the intersection of architecture, scenography, product design, craftsmanship, graphic design, art, and science, in their working environments. A selection of these interviews, in situ photographs, and object scans are brought together in the publication. An additional glossary provides a general overview of open-disciplinary working methods. Design and architecture journalist Jasmin Jouhar was invited to conduct an introductory foreword interview with the two authors.

DDCAST 252 — Corinna Gratzl & Julia Klass
Dialog Beyond Disciplines

Corinna Gratzl und Julia Klass sind Designerinnen und Gründerinnen des Designstudios In Search Of. Zuletzt kuratierten und gestalteten sie die Ausstellung dreams, ideas & prototypes des WDC-Campus, einem der zentralen Zukunftsprojekte der World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026.

Kennengelernt haben sich die beiden während ihres Masterstudiums in Kommunikationsdesign am Bodensee. Corinna Gratzl (*1997) studierte zuvor Innenarchitektur an der Akademie der Bildenden Künste München und arbeitete anschließend in den Bereichen Architektur, Kunst und Design in New York City und Berlin. Julia Klass (*1999) absolvierte einen Bachelor in Medienmanagement mit den Schwerpunkten Public Relations und Journalismus an der Technischen Hochschule in Würzburg. Berufliche Erfahrungen sammelte sie unter anderem im Bereich Corporate Communications sowie als Grafikdesignerin bei einem Schweizer Tech-Unternehmen.

Mit ihrem Studio In Search Of verfolgen Corinna Gratzl und Julia Klass eine kollaborative Designpraxis, die von Neugier geprägt und vom jeweiligen Kontext geleitet wird. Im Dialog und durch kritische Reflexion entwickeln sie disziplinübergreifende Projekte, deren Form und Medium sich aus dem jeweiligen Inhalt ergeben.

2026 veröffentlichten sie außerdem das Buch Dialog Beyond Disciplines, erschienen im Verlag form in Frankfurt am Main. Herausgegeben wurde die Publikation von Barbara Glasner (DDC Beirätin). Darin beschäftigen sich die beiden Designerinnen mit diszipinübergreifendem Gestalten und dem Wandel des Designbegriffs. Anhand von Interviews, Fotografien und Objektscans gibt das Buch Einblicke in die Arbeitsweisen internationaler Gestaltungsstudios und Expert:innen an den Schnittstellen verschiedener Disziplinen.

Wir wünschen euch wie immer viel Spaß beim Zuhören und Weitersagen. Die neue Folge findet ihr auf DDCAST.DDC.DE oder überall, wo es Podcasts gibt.
