Photography by Robert G

The smell of sweet freshly baked sausages followed me from the Berlin Mitte to the enormously charming venue of Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Designers from all corners of Germany, Europe and abroad slowly fill the Main Hall on the first floor. The taste of sweet strawberry juice touches my lips and flows down to my spine as the approximately 1500 attendees softly rest assured into the pillows of their chairs. As Simone Wolf and Donald Beekman approach the bench, silence slowly dawns upon the crowd. Every corner of the space wispers Deutsche Gründlichkeit and so the 14th International Design Conference, TYPO Berlin 2009 kicks off.
