Part of the “Fifty” series by the Design Museum, this volume highlights fifty design icons that together capture the spirit and creativity of the city of Berlin.
A city shaped by war, division, and reunification, Berlin has emerged as a fertile ground for innovative design.
Through fifty carefully selected examples—from architectural landmarks such as the TV Tower and the Jewish Museum, to infrastructural elements like the S-Bahn, cultural symbols like Kebab Kiosks and the visual identity of Volksbühne Theatre, everyday items like the Durchsteckschlüssel (courtyard pass keys), and the modern landscape of Potsdamer Platz—the book vividly narrates the story of Berlin’s design evolution.
Written in English, it is a visually rich and engaging guide to the city’s design heritage.
