On Wednesday evening the winners of the Designpreis Brandenburg 2013 were announced in a ceremony held in the cavern-like grandeur of Potsdam's Nikolaisaal.
Chosen from over 200 submitted entries the winning projects ranged from a campaign to encourage better glass recycling etiquette over a furniture production system that negates the need for large scale distribution and onto a book for dyslexics and an underground train for Singapore.
We'll have more on the Designpreis Brandenburg later as part of our general report from the Designtage Brandenburg 2013 - of which Geblüt – Positions to Design is naturally also a component - but for now the winners.
Congratulations to all.
