The humorous and decorative products of designer Karin Sehnert are unmistakable. In her small porcelain manufactory she makes the steps from the design to the finished object visible, even for those who want to try it themselves.

Of course this needs a good idea, but it also requires meticulous planning, technical know-how and a lot of experience.

Since 2012 Karin Sehnert has been challenging the "Haiglück" with her own workshop and design office. This is all about product development in the materials porcelain, glass and metal - from the idea to the production stage – also for external clients.

DOPPELDENK Studio

10. August 2025

‘DOPPELDENK’ is the name of the artist duo Marcel Baer and Andreas Glauch. Both have their creative roots in the subculture of the post-reunification period. They became well known as freelance artists in the 1990s and have been creating joint works of art since 2007: paintings, sculptures, prints and light objects.

In their works, they use popular symbols, pictograms and figures, which they remove from their original context and present in a new form. Doppeldenk uses a stylised, comic-like approach in contrasting colours to create subtle critical and humorous commentary on phenomena of mass culture.

Their works for public spaces are also spectacular, most recently a light installation on the exterior façade of the GRASSI Museum of Applied Arts, which will be on display from autumn 2025.

MISKA MIKUTTA

2. August 2025

After 10 years as independent product and furniture designers, Sarah Meinert and Andreas Mikutta joined their forces in 2025 and founded the company MISKA MIKUTTA. Both are trained carpenters/joiners and studied wood design/product and object design at the Angewandte Kunst Schneeberg.

‘Wood is always our starting material and the basis of our work. Sometimes it remains completely pure, with the focus on the strength, smell and tactility of the material. But we often add colour, textiles or metals, depending on the sensuality we want to express.’

The designs and works of MISKA MIKUTTA are always related to their surroundings. Whether striking and distinctive or subtle and understated, this depends on the atmosphere of the rooms.

Corinna Petra Friedrich

In the serial combination of patterned cups, plates and space-consuming vessels, the ceramics of Corinna Petra Friedrich arouse creative collecting pleasure.

She appreciates clay as a simple and honest material, rolls it out into plates and designs the surfaces using transfer printing, screen printing, engobes, monotypes and other interventions.

Intuitively cut out pieces she puts together and is inspired by the meeting of patterns and colours. In this creative process of skill and virtuosity of her hands she directs.

Rosi Steinbach

Ceramist Rosi Steinbach unfolds all facets of her ability to simultaneously capture her wonderful talent of realistic expression and imaginative abstraction.

Under the brand "Steinbach Keramik" she assembles her collection of lovingly designed faiences, tableware and unique vessels. She also offers the individual production of room and facade decoration and, as a further inspiration, realistically modelled animal heads and figures with irresistible charm.

Diving away from all pigeonhole thinking, the true artist Rosi Steinbach inspires with her ceramic busts and free objects commenting on the states of the world. In captivatingly precise physiognomies she mediates between classic and pop, daring a fascinating and irritating balancing act between tradition and modernity, pragmatically documenting and yet creatively fabricating.

Katrin Aichinger

Every animal has its nature and every being has relatives. Katrin Aichinger's soft toy studio is the birthplace of wonderful creatures made of mohair and other fabrics, which she not only creates but also inspires with an eye for the essential and a great deal of skill.

You can find love at first sight there as well as the faithful comforter, the strong companion or simply a nice cuddly toy. Katrin Aichinger lovingly recognises and embroiders the individual faces full of character and provides them with handmade glass eyes from Lauscha in Thuringia.

From the whale to the pocket monster, from the chattering duck to the teddy classic – each has its own personal expression.
