Designtour „Behind the Scene“

Bereits 2015 haben wir Marion Strehlow in ihrem Atelier besucht und durften hinter die Kulissen der Arbeiten der Modedesignerin schauen. (Zum Artikel…) Marion erzählte uns damals, wie sie Modedesignerin geworden ist und stellte uns ihre neue Kollektion vor. Nun startet Mitte Mai 18 ihr Projekt „Behind the Scene“, eine Stadtführung, die genau solche Impressionen auch anderen Designinteressierten und Touristen bieten will.

The Sooner Now 2017

Mit neuen Technologien und der steigenden Mobilität von Menschen ändern sich auch Arbeits- und Lebenswelten. Lokale und globale Identitäten verschmelzen mehr und mehr miteinander, insbesondere der Kreativbereich ist damit vertraut. Welche Bedeutung hat ein konkreter Standort dennoch für kreative Arbeit? Und wie erweitert eine kosmopolitische Sichtweise den Horizont? Am 28. September laden Freunde von Freunden und MINI zur The Sooner Now in Düsseldorf ein.

GRETA’S SISTER

In December of 2016, the writer Christine Weissenborn together with her sister-in-law, the illustrator Sarah Neuendorf, published the delightful children’s book ‚Greta’s sister‘. Exclusively for THE DORF THE MAG the two of them have placed Greta, the whale and Anuk, the island girl in Düsseldorf and tell the story of why Greta is swimming in the Rhine. And what carnival has to do with the South Sea.

Gil Bronner

“My own unpunctuality is my rebellion against my father’s punctuality”, says Gil Bronner when he walks through the door of his Philara Collection only slightly late. The former glass factory Lennartz that the property developer bought and rebuilt extensively over the course of two years lies in a shabby backyard off Birkenstraße.

WOLF OF WALL STREET

For our photographer Sabrina Weniger, tiny Wallstraße
in the heart of the old town perfectly reflects the native and true Düsseldorf: a bit rough and eccentric, a bit chic and elegant, a bit old and dirty and most of all: with its heart in the right place. Even though it’s located directly in the city centre, it is easily overlooked.

Carsten Mosebach

Carsten, 34, loves dogs, flowers and ink. With a face like his, we’re sure to get some calls for his number after this issue is out. But this handsome guy’s heart belongs to his boyfriend and Düsseldorf — here he shares his tips for enjoying the latter.

Chris Succo

A visit in Chris Succo’s studio: The silver-grey roll-up door is being lifted after ringing Chris Succo Studio’s doorbell. Behind the shutter appears a man with messy blond hair, all dressed in black and a band sweater. We walk past a black Mini and a storage area towards the main studio with its red couch.
