Sustainable Design as an Artistic Experience in the Municipal Museum of Braunschweig
The cabinet exhibition Innovative – Sustainable Product Design at the House on Löwenwall offers a focused look at contemporary design between utility, aesthetics, and responsibility. The centerpiece features porcelain objects, upcycling works, and material-conscious form-finding – an exhibition that not only showcases product design but also makes it readable as a cultural attitude. The Municipal Museum of Braunschweig presents innovative trends in current product design, highlighting the works of the design label MAOMI from Mannheim, among others.

Form, Material, and Responsibility
What immediately captivates is the tension between reduction and sensuality. Plates, bowls, cups, and vases appear as precisely composed utilitarian objects, whose clear form language and high-quality materiality unfold a quiet elegance. The curation makes visible how sustainable product design responds to resource conservation, fair production conditions, and traditional manufacturing techniques.

MAOMI and the Power of the Everyday
At the center of the presentation is the young, award-winning design label MAOMI. The objects by Uta Meeder combine everyday utility with a pronounced awareness of form quality and ecological materials. Especially in the museum's perspective on the work, its potential unfolds: design appears not as mere surface but as culturally charged practice between craftsmanship, interior design, and contemporary creation.

Upcycling as an Aesthetic Experience
Particularly impressive is the focus on the topic of upcycling. The so-called Jägermeister cups by Leif Hauge show how new, independent object forms emerge from discarded bottles. Equally convincing are the chain objects by Elisabeth Krampe, which use folded paper sheets to explore the boundary between fine art and functional art. Such works lend the exhibition a reflective, yet sensually tangible depth.

The Museum as a Place of Cultural Education
The Municipal Museum of Braunschweig sees itself as a house with art and cultural historical as well as ethnological collections and regularly showcases prestigious temporary exhibitions in the House on Löwenwall. For visitors, this creates double value: the aesthetic experience of a compact cabinet exhibition and the connection to the larger museum landscape of Braunschweig. Public guided tours and educational offerings meaningfully complement the visit.
