Berlin. The fifth annual "Future Forum" by Design Hotels, to take place in Berlin from 15-17 October will once again connect leading talent in the design, art and architecture communities with great minds from the hospitality industry. This time, hoteliers, developers, journalists, investors, architects, designers, restaurateurs and consultants will come together to broaden their perspective on "Human Design". Everybody will have access to the event and can buy tickets online.
This year`s Future Forum will explore the relationship between human beings and design: Design appeals to the human wish for identity, uniqueness, status and luxury, but it also strives to be sustainable and address the needs and problems that afflict our society as a whole.
The conference is curated by Robert Klanten of Gestalten, a publishing and consulting company with expertise in visual culture and trends. The Future Forum kicks off with an opening by Claus Sendlinger, CEO of Design Hotels, followed by a trend briefing from Christopher Sanderson and Martin Raymond of The Future Laboratory, a London-based trend research company. Marije Vogelzang, a food concept designer from the Netherlands, will then convey her philosophy about food and design through an interactive presentation and tasting.
In the afternoon, key speakers will give insight into new movements and concepts that are pushing the parameters of the design world. Among the speakers are Stephen Burks, Friends With You, Andrej Kupetz, Jason Miller, Shonquis Moreno, Jerszy Seymour. A further highlight will be a cooking art happening by The Foodists, a food performance company, Germany.
