Design Thirstday

Thirsty?

You’re not alone in that. We quench our thirst for good design and valuable contacts at Design Thirstday, the relaxed event for designers at the Design Zentrum Hamburg. Our recipe: a fresh mix of short talks, special guests from the industry and time for stimulating conversations. Preferably with a drink in hand.

It wasn’t just the social dry spells during the pandemic that showed just how important face-to-face interaction and a strong network are. From the very beginning, the Design Zentrum has been a meeting place and platform for Hamburg’s design scene – and beyond. Design Thirstday carries this idea forward.

At the start of the event, exciting figures from the scene will briefly introduce themselves and their projects – after which we’ll move on to a relaxed exchange. This time, the following special guests will be joining us:

• Sven Rieckmann is Creative Director at the Peter Schmidt Group, where he has been working with international brands and start-ups in the lifestyle, sport and esports sectors for over 13 years.
• Ari Liloan gathers compelling arguments regarding the AI debate and creates illustrations for clients including Google, Time Magazine, A24 and others – see more at sorry.
• Daniel Streilein is an industrial designer and co-founder of Boldextrusion Ventures, a Hamburg-based studio specialising in large-format 3D printing, which develops innovative furniture and objects from recycled and bio-based plastics.

See you at the Design Centre!
