Through a dynamic installation, the studio provides a framework where teams develop prototypes that merge traditional techniques with contemporary innovation. Photographs documenting the intersection of craft and design complement the displays, offering insight into the creative process. This collaboration with Studio Jonathan Radetz serves as a platform for sustainability, democratic design, and cultural narratives—fostering dialogue and transformation. World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026 unites those passionate about shaping the future of the region, showcasing how design can strengthen democracy and improve lives.

The first edition of 'Shifting Objects—Shifting Values' focuses on the future collaboration between the eight design studios from Germany and Denmark, who are developing innovative approaches and perspectives together with craftspeople. The current works on display are complemented by fascinating insights into the processes of the participating workshops and by Ingmar Kurth's photographs, which document and visually enrich an interface between craftsmanship and design. The exhibition concept, developed by Studio Jonathan Radetz, creates a unifying atmosphere that brings all participants—designers, craftspeople and visitors—into dialogue. The result is a space that focuses on sustainability, democratic design and cultural narratives.
