Berlin in Fifty Design Icons

The prestigious Design Museum looks at the fifty design icons that inherently sum up the character of Berlin - whether a classic film, a street sign or an iconic monument.

Berlin's turbulent history has led to a wealth of innovative, evocative designs. From the TV Tower and Jewish Museum to the S-Bahn and even Doner kebab kiosks, the Design Museum reveals the fifty design icons that tell the story of the city.

The Design Museum's mission is to celebrate, entertain and inform. It is the world's leading museum devoted to contemporary design in every form from furniture to fashion, and architecture to graphics. It is working to place design at the centre of contemporary culture and demonstrates both the richness of the creativity to be found in all forms of design, and its importance.
