Cordial invitation to the DesignPF summer exhibition on THREE days:
July 12 - 14, 2024, 11 a.m. - 8 p.m. (Sunday until 4 p.m.)


The key visual was created by Nina Elstner and Lisa Reinhart: Desire is a complex concept, it is experienced subjectively and moves between
between an instinctive striving and a conscious desire. We have derived central design elements from this: the triangular shape, the blue color scheme and the eye. The color blue not only symbolizes depth and longing, but also provides a certain calm and serenity - in stark contrast to the intense emotion that the theme of desire evokes. The triangle embodies "thinking outside the box", while the eye adds an extra dimension of intrigue and mystery. Our design concept invites us to reflect and question our own notions of desire.
