About Generation Köln

GENERATION KÖLN was established in 2017. The four independent product designers exhibit their works together in a collective context. Driven by common questions regarding the responsibility of design, the core of their work is to find places of sustainability and make them tangible for the people. The group is curated by Passagen founder Sabine Voggenreiter and supported by Köln Business.
