On Tuesday, June 3, 2025, the judging and awarding of outstanding pieces of furniture from the “Furniture Construction” exhibition took place in the University Library.
The students' task was to develop an independent, functional piece of seating furniture from a plywood panel and a maximum of five 1.5 m birch wood rods that did not exceed the dimensions L500 mm x W500 mm x H850 mm. The material had to be used efficiently and the natural surface of the wood had to be preserved.
Five jurors from industry, art and craftsmanship selected 16 outstanding pieces of furniture from more than 160 entries. They recognized the implementation of the task, the underlying technical ideas, the handling of the material and its properties, the aesthetics and design language, function, but also the courage to create unusual constructions and the willingness to experiment.
With the support of Dietmar Dreier Wissenschaftliche Versandbuchhandlung GmbH, small prizes were presented to the winners in addition to the certificates.
The event was organized by Prof. Martin Klein-Wiele, Franz Klein-Wiele, Philip Berend and Katharina Regulski.
