German designer and stenographer Tim John and his partner Martin Schmitz will be offering insights into their work at a special conference at the Design Centre next Wednesday 22 March. 

Specialising in the art of staging, they create spaces that sublimate the products of major international brands or create unique universes for many festivals and exhibitions.

John and Schmitz graduated as industrial designers from the Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg, later founding their own design studio in 2008. 

Relying on a wide range of materials and techniques, they are able to create unique designs that they then adapt to various media uch as storefronts, exhibition halls, trade fairs, festivals, etc. Their client list includes Hermès, Audi, Boffi, Opel and Lufthansa. 

During the conference, John and Schmitz will also submit a catalogue containing an exclusive interview with them.

The free-to-enter conference will be held in English at the Museum of Modern Art (Mudam Luxembourg). For more information and registration, see www.designfriends.lu.
