Sustainable Product Design as an Artistic Experience in the House at Löwenwall

The City Museum of Braunschweig opens the cabinet exhibition Innovative – Sustainable Product Design, providing a precise look at current designs that balance aesthetics, resource conservation, and craftsmanship quality. In the House at Löwenwall, porcelain objects, upcycling ideas, and experimental jewelry forms converge in a calm, focused exhibition atmosphere. The exhibition shows how strongly product design today operates as a cultural practice and how closely form, material, and responsibility are connected.

Simplified Forms, Strong Stance

At the center are plates, bowls, cups, vases, and other porcelain works from the design label MAOMI from Mannheim. The works impress with a clear, reduced form language and the conscious use of traditional manufacturing techniques. Curatorially, this presents a contemporary design attitude that does not rely on effect but on durability, material honesty, and fair production conditions. This connection between function and responsibility makes the exhibition particularly worthwhile for art and design enthusiasts.

Upcycling as an Aesthetic Strategy

The theme of sustainability is particularly vividly illustrated through the so-called Jägermeister cups by Swedish glass artist Leif Hauge. Old bottles are transformed here into new functional objects that not only explain the concept of upcycling but make it sensually experienceable. The exhibition shows how an everyday material can grow into an object with new presence, function, and meaning.

Between Fine Art and Utility

Elisabeth Krampe's chain objects made from hundreds of folded paper sheets expand the view of jewelry and object art. Her works evoke baroque collar effects and elegantly navigate between sculpture, neck jewelry, and installation. It is precisely here that the cabinet exhibition reveals its special strength: it demonstrates that sustainable product design is not only practical but also historically relevant to art.

The Museum as a Place of Education and Dialogue

The City Museum of Braunschweig regularly presents special exhibitions in the House at Löwenwall alongside its collections and sees itself as a place of cultural education. Public tours are part of the offerings, as are bookable group tours; the tours are included in the admission price. The museum also displays paintings, sacred art, decorative arts, ethnographic objects, historical musical instruments, and the Dexel form collection. ([braunschweig.de](https://www.braunschweig.de/kultur/museen/staedtisches-museum/index.php?utm_source=openai))

Those visiting this cabinet exhibition will not experience a loud presentation but a thoughtful, focused examination of works with a keen eye for material, form, and responsibility. Innovative – Sustainable Product Design invites visitors to not only see the future of design but to understand it within the space of the museum. A visit is worthwhile for anyone looking to experience cultural education, aesthetic experience, and contemporary design in close connection.
