Sustainable Product Design as an Aesthetic Experience at the Municipal Museum Braunschweig
The cabinet exhibition Innovative – Sustainable Product Design at the Municipal Museum Braunschweig focuses on a present where design, material awareness, and responsible production are inseparably linked. In the building at Löwenwall, visitors encounter porcelain objects, upcycling works, and art-related utility forms that precisely and sensually redefine the concept of product design. The museum thus presents an exhibition that not only informs but also opens up a clear aesthetic experience.

Design between Form, Function, and Attitude
At the center are plates, bowls, cups, and vases from the design label MAOMI based in Mannheim. The objects impress with a reduced, powerful design language and reference traditional manufacturing techniques as well as fair production conditions. Art historically, this presentation can be read as a contemporary reflection on the boundary between applied art, usable art, and sustainable design.

Upcycling as an Artistic Strategy
Particularly striking is the view of the Jägermeister cups created by Swedish glass artist Leif Hauge, made from old bottles. Here, upcycling is revealed not as a trend but as a material-conscious artistic practice. The exhibition conveys how new forms of quality emerge from industrially shaped materials and how design makes ecological responsibility visible.

Between Jewelry, Sculpture, and Usable Object
Elisabeth Krampe's chain objects made from hundreds of folded paper sheets expand the perspective on the relationship between art and everyday life. Their appearance, reminiscent of baroque millstone collars, combines sculpturality with wearable form. It is this tension that holds the appeal of the cabinet exhibition: it shows how aesthetic experience arises when function, material, and perception question each other.

A Museum with a Strong Collection and Education
The Municipal Museum Braunschweig, with its two buildings, is one of the important cultural addresses in the city. It includes a painting gallery, sacred art, applied arts, ethnographic objects, historical musical instruments, and the Dexel design collection. In addition, the museum offers tours and audio guides, working explicitly in a museum educational manner.

Visit, Accessibility, and Framework
The museum at Löwenwall is centrally located in Braunschweig and is usually open from Tuesday to Sunday from 11 AM to 5 PM. For the period from 22.06.2026 to 11.08.2026, the museum points out that due to the renovation of the elevator system in the Old Town City Hall, not all areas are barrier-free accessible; otherwise, the building is described as barrier-free. The cabinet exhibition is thus well-prepared for a culture-conscious exhibition visit. ([braunschweig.de](https://www.braunschweig.de/kultur/museen/staedtisches-museum/))
Conclusion
Innovative – Sustainable Product Design is a compact but intellectually far-reaching exhibition about the design of the future. Those who want to experience material, form consciousness, and sustainability at the museum will find a concentrated exhibition with high relevance here. A visit is definitely worthwhile in person, as only in front of the objects does their quiet precision and their cultural statement truly become visible.
