27th Zeughausmesse from 7-10 November 2024 

Art, craft and design in all its splendour

Around 80 designers, craftspeople and artists will be presenting and selling their latest creations at the Zeughausmesse from 7-10 November 2024 at Kühlhaus Berlin. Visitors may look forward to fascinating encounters and discussions with participating artists. The Fresh Talents program, as well as Wismar University of Applied Sciences, offers insights into current ideas by young artists and newcomers.

The Zeughausmesse has become an annual autumn highlight for applied art lovers in Berlin. Participating exhibitors – selected by a jury – have spent many years working and experimenting with materials such as glass, silver, gold, metal, wood, leather, clay and textiles. Their results generate amazement and wonder. Many visitors discover their favourite unique art piece here. 

The Fresh Talents format, developed by the Zeughausmesse to promote young artists, is presented at the fair for the second time. Seven young craftspeople and designers who have been working professionally for a maximum of five years will be showing their work this year.

Leticia Domingues creates complex wax moulds, casts them into silver jewellery and adorns them. She often uses natural materials, such as pine needles and wood, to create a contrast with metal in her work to create imaginative one-of-a-kind pieces. Her process is experimental, incorportaing ink on wood, electrochemical processes and shellac. 

Judith Runge creates impressive bowls and wall objects from coloured clay, porcelain, engobes and glazes. She combines anthracite-coloured porcelain with thermoformed plastic found objects. Each of her pieces is completely one-of-a-kind unique. 

Felix Votteler creates wood-turned vessels, crafted from sustainably sourced local trees. He works with green wood, freshly cut and still wet, which causes beautiful distortions to the original symmetrical shape as it dries. He deliberately emphasises imperfections and knots in his objects.

The Faculty of Design at Wismar University of Applied Scienceswill present design ideas with an emphasis on jewellery and product design. The students’ exhibit is focussed on an artistic-aesthetic material investigation of dust, the relationship between kitsch, jewellery and female role models in jewellery and objects, as well as researching and using the phenomena of dreaming in the development of jewellery.

Most of this year's Zeughausmesse exhibitors live and work in Germany, around half are from Berlin and Brandenburg. International exhibitors are from Denmark, the Netherlands and Austria. 

Unique, handmade works by members of the Berlin-Brandenburg Applied Arts Association can also be found online: shop.zeughausmesse.de

The Zeughausmesse is organized by the Berufsverband Angewandte Kunst Berlin-Brandenburg. Collaboration partners include Art Aurea, Götze Gold GmbH, Goodlife-Wohndesign, Hand-Werk und Design, Home, Humboldt Kaffee Manufaktur and the Lions Club Berlin-Preußen von Humboldt.
