Willkommen bei EUNIC Berlin!

NEXT! Young European Design brings together emerging designers from across Europe as part of The Imperfect Future – WOOD: Design between Symbiosis and Standardisation. Date: 21.05.2026, 18:30 Location: Aedes, Christinenstr. 18–19, 10119 Berlin Register: /e/the-imperfect-future-wood-design-between-symbiosis-and-standardisation-tickets-1985839401106?aff=oddtdtcreator In collaboration with @aedesberlin and EUNIC member institutes. Curated and moderated by @simbinko . • Jakob Niemann (Austria) works at the intersection of craftsmanship, engineering and sustainable design, focusing on wood as a living material. Through experimental making and self-developed techniques, his practice explores how natural growth, resourcefulness and material intelligence can inform contemporary design. @jakob_niemann • House of Pärnamets (Estonia) explores sustainable small-scale production through traditional green woodworking. Rooted in material knowledge and craft heritage, the studio creates seating and objects shaped by resourceful techniques while sharing these practices through workshops and collective learning. @house_of_parnamets • Henri Judin (Finland) develops thoughtful and durable design solutions shaped by material responsibility, functionality and refined form. Through Design Studio Judin, his work bridges Finnish design traditions, international collaboration and sustainable approaches to contemporary furniture and interiors. @hnrjdn • Lucy O’Sullivan (Ireland) works with storm-fallen timber and underused materials, exploring regenerative and place-based design. Her practice embraces irregularity, material memory and environmental change, proposing a slower and more attentive relationship to making. @lucyosullivan.ie • Cathy Wolter (Luxembourg) designs furniture and objects through close attention to materials, reduction and repairability. Rooted in experimentation, her work explores how durability and thoughtful construction can shape sustainable product systems for everyday life. @cathywolter Part 1/2

TALK: The Imperfect Future – WOOD: Design between Symbiosis and Standardisation | 21.05.2026, 18:30 What does it mean for design when materials are not perfect? “NEXT – Young European Design” by EUNIC and Aedes brings together young designers from eleven European countries to discuss wood as a material in the context of climate change, resource scarcity and new production methods. “The Imperfect Future – WOOD: Design between Symbiosis and Standardisation” examines how designers are responding to flawed materials, the slow growth cycles of natural resources and the tension between craftsmanship and industrial standardisation.

Post-screening | Still Nia @filmul_stillnia @ DokuMontag – EUNIC Berlin @eunicberlin A wonderful evening with the screening of Still Nia as part of the DokuMontag series by EUNIC Berlin, curated by the Czech Centre Berlin @tschechisches_zentrum , and held at Cinema Paris (Berlin) at the Institut français de Berlin @ifkudamm . We would like to warmly thank the audience for their engaged presence and for staying until the end of the Q&A session, moderated by Bernd Buder, together with filmmaker Paula Oneț @paula_onet and producer Ioana Bogdana @tallandcool . The discussion offered valuable insights into the film’s context, its development process, and the origins of the story - as well as how it evolved over time and the working process behind it. It provided a deeper understanding of the film’s perspective and creative journey. We are especially grateful for the reflections shared on the making of the film and the trajectory of the director’s work, this being her first feature-length documentary. We are looking forward with great interest to her upcoming projects. 📸 A few impressions from the evening. #DokuMontag #EUNICBerlin #CzechCentreBerlin #InstitutfrançaisBerlin #CinemaParisBerlin #StillNia #documentary #filmculture #Berlin
