BerliNordik 2010
After “bright green fashion”, the successful project beginning together with Copenhagen in 2009, BerliNordik 2010 is held in Berlin and hosts its Nordic partners in the German capital. In a series of “bright green design” exhibitions 19 brilliant fashion and product designers from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Berlin present their work, showing a wide range of different approaches on the topic of sustainability. Their materialized ideas make it clear that there are many possible solutions for the design of the future. Yet, the journey has just begun.
