Testimonials
“As a designer, I want to make the world a better place. The challenges we have to overcome are increasingly complex. You can't do this alone. It can only be done with a creative network of different disciplines. The IDZ has this network.“

“Since I was a young designer I was impressed by the International Design Center in Berlin. It's one of the most influential institutions demonstrating what design contributes to us as individuals but also to companies and society.“
