News - 26 June 2024 - Communication

Students from the TU Delft | Faculty of Industrial Design and Politecnico di Milano featured in special exhibition at Museum Angewandte Kunst (MAK) in Frankfurt.


Last November, 17 students from the TU Delft | Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering master course Advanced Concept Design (ACD) and 20 students from Politecnico di Milano presented their work at the Braun office in Frankfurt. Their presentations were based on the work they had been doing for Braun-De’Longhi on 'The Future of Cooking'.

Fast forward a few months and the students were lucky enough to be given their very own exhibition at Museum Angewandte Kunst (MAK). Their work was shown from 24 February – 24 March 2024, running simultaneously with the Dieter Rams exhibition.

The grand opening of the exhibition was followed by an engaging panel discussion with members from IDE (TU Delft), PoliMi, De'Longhi, and Braun on the future of industrial design education in light of the contemporary ecological challenges.  

The video above includes highlights from the panel discussion and the ‘Triangular - Cooking for What Matters’ project.
