Manufactory Guide Berlin/Brandenburg

In this detailed manu­fac­tory and artisan guide you will find the best manu­fac­to­ries, designers and art work­shops from Berlin/Brandenburg. So it’s all about “creative quality crafts­man­ship”: The hope of objects that last for a long time after their purchase is attached to crafts­man­ship. Econom­i­cally speaking, this small ency­clo­pedia gathers some­thing like the “non-industry”.

But where can you find these things? In retail stores, almost not at all. That’s the orig­inal reason, the moti­va­tion for this manu­fac­tory guide: it wants to track down what you no longer discover by chance in the small stores of the streets and what gets lost in the rushing waves and price filters of the Internet. Rare crafts, the better product alter­na­tives, the insider tips and new manu­fac­tory start-ups that would never call them­selves that.

For several years now, a produc­tive and diverse tradi­tion-busting devel­op­ment has been underway that has thor­oughly changed the under­standing of what forma­tive craft can be today. Craft is cata­pulting itself into the future. Crafts­man­ship is sustain­able, crafts­man­ship is regional, crafts­man­ship is oriented to the human scale. Impulses are coming not only from the classic manu­fac­to­ries, but also from arti­sans and design studios that are rein­venting them­selves and producing and selling their own series or collections.

Berlin is a center of this devel­op­ment. This guide summa­rizes the exciting scene in the capital region for the first time. If you’re looking for a quality alter­na­tive to main­stream prod­ucts, check out this book. If you want to visit places, perhaps as a trip with the whole family, visit the studios and work­shops. Do work­shops, too. Or, if you are looking for busi­ness part­ner­ships that are arti­sanal and high quality, you will find it here.
