This foundation is rooted in a rich legacy: in the <strong>1920<\/strong>s, the New Frankfurt movement under <strong>Ernst May<\/strong> set international benchmarks for modern housing and functional design \u2013 a heritage that continues to shape the city\u2019s identity today. As part of World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026, Frankfurt now becomes a meeting point for forward-looking design. On 9 June 2026, the city\u2019s Focus Day within Open \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/en\/milan-design-week-ciam-cocktail-station\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Design Week<\/a> will centre on urban spaces, brands and emerging technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith Open \u2013 Design Week, Frankfurt RheinMain becomes a stage for creative ideas, international exchange and social innovation. The breadth of the program demons- trates the potential that lies in the close relationship between culture, design, science and business,\u201d says <strong>Mike Josef<\/strong>, <strong>Mayor of Frankfurt<\/strong> and <strong>patron of World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                    \r\n                    #tdi_1  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u00a9Institut-Mathildenhohe-Marcus-Kaufhold.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_1  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item2 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Danzig-Am-Platz-Copyright-Ben-Kuhlmann.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_1  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Forward_Festival-Copyright-Alex-Heuvink.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_1  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item4 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Neue-Kaiser-Frankfurt-Copyright-Ben-Kuhlmann.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                <\/style>\r\n\r\n                <div id=\"tdi_1\" class=\"td-gallery td-slide-on-2-columns\">\r\n                    <div class=\"post_td_gallery\">\r\n                        <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-top\">\r\n                           <div class=\"td-gallery-title\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n                            <div class=\"td-gallery-controls-wrapper\">\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-count\"><span class=\"td-gallery-slide-item-focus\">1<\/span> of 4<\/div>\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-prev-next-but\">\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-left doubleSliderPrevButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-right doubleSliderNextButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\r\n                        <div class = \"td-doubleSlider-1 \">\r\n                            <div class = \"td-slider\">\r\n                                \r\n                    <div class = \"td-slide-item td-item1\">\r\n                        <figure class=\"td-slide-galery-figure td-slide-popup-gallery\">\r\n                            <a class=\"slide-gallery-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u00a9Institut-Mathildenhohe-Marcus-Kaufhold.jpg\" title=\"\u00a9Institut Mathildenh\u00f6he-Marcus Kaufhold\"  data-caption=\"\"  data-description=\"\">\r\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u00a9Institut-Mathildenhohe-Marcus-Kaufhold.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u00a9Institut-Mathildenhohe-Marcus-Kaufhold.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u00a9Institut-Mathildenhohe-Marcus-Kaufhold-283x300.jpg 283w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u00a9Institut-Mathildenhohe-Marcus-Kaufhold-965x1024.jpg 965w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u00a9Institut-Mathildenhohe-Marcus-Kaufhold-768x815.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u00a9Institut-Mathildenhohe-Marcus-Kaufhold-1447x1536.jpg 1447w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u00a9Institut-Mathildenhohe-Marcus-Kaufhold-696x739.jpg 696w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" alt=\"&copy;Institut Mathildenh&ouml;he-Marcus Kaufhold\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1500px;

At the <strong>Next Generation Space<\/strong> in Museum Angewandte Kunst, the focus is on the next generation of designers. The <strong>Shared Resources Space <\/strong>at Danzig am Platz (entrance: Henschelstra\u00dfe 18) provides a platform for the design community and interested visitors to discuss new models of urban coexistence and more conscious approaches to resource use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the <strong>Creative Value Space <\/strong>in Neue Kaiser (Kaiserstra\u00dfe 30), Open \u2013 Design Week explores the role of design as an economic driver. The venue also hosts the exhibition <strong>Award-Winning \u2013 Design Value Made<\/strong> in Hessen, a signature event of the State of Hesse showcasing outstanding design achievements by Hessian companies. Meanwhile, Massif E at Hauptwache is home to the <strong>Worldwide Creative Space<\/strong>, where networking and international exchange within the global design community take centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Open highlights in Frankfurt<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The official opening of Open \u2013 Design Week will take place on Friday, <strong>5 June<\/strong>, with the 9th Creative Industries Day<strong> <\/strong>at Neue Kaiser (Kaiserstra\u00dfe 30). Another highlight is the presentation of the WDC x Brompton Special Edition at Massif Central from 5 to 11 June. The project emerged from an open call inviting designers and emerging talents to reinterpret Brompton\u2019s lightweight P Line folding bicycle through their own colours, graphics and design concepts. The limited-edition bicycle will subsequently be raffled as part of a public prize draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday, <strong>6 June<\/strong>, the Shared Resources Space at Danzig am Platz will officially open its doors. In collaboration with rent.group, the Space explores themes including circular economy, sharing models and sustainable consumption. Emerging designers such as Studio Tobias Hirt and RAFT Collective meet established practitioners including Jain&amp;Kriz and DigitaLicht, alongside representatives from architecture and business.
