Industrial Design

Felix Rasehorn and Robin Hoske lead WINT, a Berlin-based design lab focused on Design research in the context of sustainable, and biology-inspired design strategies informed by science. WINT collaborates with global brands like IKEA and Adidas, specializing in sustainable materials, bio-based production, and circular design for future proof products. Recognized internationally, the studio received the 2023 German Eco-Design and Maison&Objet Newcomer Award.

At WINT, design practice facilitates discussion, imagines alternatives, fosters decision-making, and ultimately drives change in both industry and society.
The Design Lab continuously evolves its role in bridging the gap between applied industry practice and academic research.

Dirty Hands is an invitation to explore new ways of working—ways that are hands-on and reflective, experimental and critical, proactive and self-aware, deeply rooted in practice. It embraces contradiction, the tension between creation and consequence, and the need for design to evolve.

This lecture series explores the entangled relationships between design, ecology, technology, and society. It highlights the urgent need for approaches that bridge the gap between planetary limitations and human action.

We invite thinkers and makers to navigate these uncertainties with us—to get their hands dirty, share their practice, and rethink what design can and can't do.
