The design industry in Munich Creativity in practice, creativity in training

Germans often refer to Munich as the country's "clandestine capital" and there are many good reasons why. Scarcely any other major European city can boast such a booming and variegated design industry. In an age when globalization fueling fierce competition in many areas, it is all the more important to remain authentically self-confident and create unmistakable designs that stand out from the faceless, interchangeable uniformity that prevails on all sides. Design fosters a sense of identity and belonging. It gives orientation. It fashions cult objects around which vibrant communities spring up. Design makes brands unique. It is a precious commodity, a basic ingredient in the recipe that delivers lasting business success. Munich has a wealth of design capacity at its disposal. Moreover, a broad spectrum of high-quality training opportunities also ensures that future generations of young designers, media people, architects, jewelry and fashion creators will maintain the city's excellent international reputation on this score too. Many companies in and relating to the design industry are based here companies that set high standards in the design quality of their products, and that accordingly pay very great attention to their own market image. A large number of agencies, studios, publishers and other creative firms operate alternately as suppliers and customers in this booming business.

April 2010 Design is a flourishing culture and tradition in the Bavarian capital. Its roots go deep into the skilled crafts sector, which to this day is held in high regard by the design community. The spectrum is truly kaleidoscopic, ranging from creative backyard "designsmiths" through small companies and ateliers to global players of the caliber of Siemens and BMW. Munich is also home to respected publishing houses and a singularly diverse media landscape. The international community too looks to Munich as a vibrant source of important design trends. In spring 2008, Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung together with the consulting company Roland Berger gave the city on the Isar pole position among the most creative cities in Germany. The study concentrated on the topics technology, tolerance and talents. Design was a crucial factor in this top ranking. Munich's reputation as a temple of design is nourished by trendsetting trade shows and design events, as well as by a unique portfolio of museums and collections that gives newcomers and established professionals alike a clear overview of developments in the design arena. A study entitled "The Role of Creativity in Munich's Business Life", published in the end of 2007 by the Department of Labor and the Economy, bears powerful testimony to the creative potential of this thriving metropolis. The full study is published at our web portal under http://www.muenchen.de/arbeitundwirtschaft.

Segments
Design is a very broad concept. One aspect is the way we organize and arrange space in the form of product design, industrial design, architecture, interior design and trade show construction, for example. Another is skilled crafts segment, with all its colorful array of different expressions. Communication design is a similarly versatile part of the whole, embracing such disciplines as graphic/photographic design, editorial work and web design. Fashion design and the fashion industry are yet another vital, independent subset. Product design Industry pundits have long been observing Munich with growing interest. Right now, the Bavarian capital is bringing forth a new generation of product designers whose work earns global respect and recognition. The city evidently provides fertile soil for the designers of tomorrow. It is here that Ingo Maurer drafts his extraordinary lighting creations. It is here that Alexander Neumeister creates ICE and Transrapid models. Herbert Schultes, for many years design chief at Siemens and lately one of the co-founders of Schlagheck Design, has his office here, as do brodbeck and designafairs, who have been working in Munich for decades. The up-and-coming generation includes designers such as Konstantin Grcic, Axel

April 2010 Meise and Stefan Diez, whose unpretentious professionalism is with stunning success causing a fresh wind to blow through Munich's design landscape and on into the big, wide world. Good design is a venerable tradition in Munich; and what we are describing here are merely the next logical steps. Design is inseparably intertwined with the history of this region not only since the "Werkbund" association of artists, architects and entrepreneurs was founded here in 1907. Yet Munich's deserved reputation as a design hub is not only the work of individual designers or offices. Global corporations stake their name on quality and design that is made in Munich. Innovative product design combines with clear communication to deliver outstandingly successful results. At BMW, for example, corporate design is increasingly evolving into a corporate philosophy. Auto models, advertising, architecture, accessories, you name it: Everything at BMW exudes the same unmistakable style a style largely shaped by chief designer Chris Bangle. The company's sharp profile underscores the tremendous importance of design as a factor of business. The same goes for BMW's Mini subsidiary, which unashamedly bears the signature of chief designer Gert Hildebrand. And Munich can proudly point to pioneers in many other areas of product design: Throughout the world, Bogner has become synonymous with casual fashion, as Rodenstock has with glasses. Meanwhile, Siemens stands alone as one of the first companies whose rigorous design strategy shapes not only its products but also the whole image of the corporate group. Media and communication design Ahead of even Hamburg and Cologne, Munich is Germany's foremost media hub. Book, newspaper and magazine publishers such as Goldmann, Heyne, Hanser, dtv, Grfe & Unzer, Cond Nast, Burda and Sddeutscher Verlag all have offices here. TV channels and film production outfits, advertising agencies and photographic studios add the finishing touches to a well-balanced picture. Even the works published here include many design-related themes (think of NOVUM World of Graphic Design, PAGE, raumbrand magazine and Elle decoration). The SZ magazine published by Sddeutscher Verlag merits a special mention. This publication presents a loosely defined sequence of special issues covering aspects of fashion, architecture and design. Indeed, the magazine itself has won prizes as a design object in its own right, and was singled out as "Lead Magazine of the Year 2007". The two-dimensional design outcomes produced in countless communication/graphic design offices and agencies attract customers from far beyond the borders of Germany. KMS, hfelinger + wagner, Heye & Partner and Gnter Mattei (who created the coveted posters for Munich's zoo, for example) are but a small selection of the city's creative and artistic agencies.

Architecture Geographic considerations are not the only reason why Munich is sometimes labeled the "northernmost city in Italy". The city's palpable Mediterranean flair is certainly matched by a plethora of attractive architecture. The local authorities are very careful to preserve historic buildings and blend these in with new and, in some cases, spectacular edifices. The result is a strikingly harmonious urban landscape. Alongside a raft of modern, eye-catching glass and steel constructions, the Olympic facilities crafted over 30 years ago by Gnter Behnisch still have a futuristic air to them and remain a key attraction in the Bavarian capital. Other, more recent highlights include the Allianz Arena designed by architects Herzog and de Meuron, and the BMW World (drafted by coop himmelb(l)au) on the north edge of the city. The "Pinakothek der Moderne" conceived of by Stefan Braunfels and erected in Munich's art district addresses the theme of design from two angles: One is its spectacular architecture. The other is how it takes visitors on a journey back in time, accompanying them through two centuries of design history. Design-related topics also have a home at the "Haus der Gegenwart" (the "House of Now"), the brainchild of architects Allmann, Sattler and Wappner, who are also responsible for the highly regarded reconstruction of the "Herz-Jesu" ("Heart of Christ") church. New buildings and conversions such as the Bayerische Rckversicherung premises, the Buchheim Museum in Feldafing on Lake Starnberg, the "Literature House" and Villa Stuck are planned in the offices of Kiessler und Partner. Terminal 2, a splendid modern facility dreamed up by Koch + Partner and constructed at the new Munich Airport, has won a string of awards and caused a stir in the international arena. Many other renowned architects who do not work on their home turf still use Munich as the base from which they plan and develop buildings around the globe. One example is Gunter Henn, who handles major projects in Dubai and China from his head office in Munich's Maxvorstadt district.

Skilled crafts It is no coincidence that Konstantin Grcic, the shooting star in the German design community, began his career by learning the joiner's trade. The same goes for Stefan Diez, Grcic's former assistant, who also started out by training as a carpenter. Munich's skilled craft companies have long set great store by contemporary organizational forms. The founding of the "Vereinigte Werksttte" ("Associated Workshops") in 1897 doubtless set a new milestone: Hermann Obrist and several associates, including Peter Behrens (AEG) joined forces to launch the "Associated Workshops for Art in the Skilled Crafts" in Munich. To this day, this association epitomizes the traditional institutional culture in this industry. The "Galerie Hand-

Page 4

City of Munich Department of Labor and Economic Development

April 2010 werk" ("Skilled Crafts Gallery") a cultural institution established by the Chamber of Skilled Crafts for Munich and Upper Bavaria has likewise set itself the task of communicating the quality of service and the cultural importance of skilled craftsmen. Its seven exhibitions a year underscore the pervasive culture of skilled crafts that still commands a strong presence in Munich. In the skilled crafts industry, design work produces fascinating objects. While other industries are only now discovering the ecological importance of sustainability, this sector has traditionally been keenly aware of such issues in its choice and handling of materials. Munich's skilled craft firms bring forth unusual interpretations of familiar forms forms that combine a unique character with thoroughly functional designs. In particular, Munich has made a name for itself in the watch making and jewelry segments, in both of which the Bavarian capital ranks as one of the world's leading locations. Scarcely any other European city boasts as many distinctive goldsmiths' and silversmiths' ateliers. The excellent apprenticeships available here attract talented young jewelers from all over the world. After completing their training, many choose to stay here and pursue a career on the Isar. Fashion No-one disputes the fact that the people of Munich are decidedly fashionconscious. The Bavarian capital also stands out from the crowd in terms of its design skills and entrepreneurial prowess. Escada receives red-carpet treatment wherever it goes in the world. Johnny Talbot and Adrian Runhof meet with similar accolades. And designers such as Susanne Wiebe (currently enjoying tremendous success in China), Gabriele Blachnik, Doris Hartwich, Rena Lange and Snia and Willy Bogner all seek inspiration for their collections in the creative spirit of Munich. As a fashion hub, Munich also leads the field in the order business. Its magnetic pull extends far beyond the Alps. The Bavarian capital is home to a number of premier trade shows (including munich fabric start, munichfashion.men and women, ispo and ispovision). Quite apart from these key events, however, a broad and very varied order landscape attracts fashion audiences to Munich all year round. Leading players in this segment include MTC, M,O,C, Sturmplaza, MZM Modezentrum, Fashion Mall and the Lodenfrey Park.
