24/7 DESIGNING CARE
NeverAtHome, Humainprojects
A conversation on design, care, and well-being.
How can design help create more inclusive, dignified, and caring ways of living? Bringing together perspectives from design, health, research, craft, industry, and media, the conversation explores how everyday objects, materials, and rituals influence how we live, connect, and care for one another.
Over coffee, Humain, an inclusive cup system developed with people living with rheumatoid arthritis and a multidisciplinary team, becomes both object and conversation starter.
Part of the NeverAtHome SESSIONS.
Talk: 30.9.2026, 3.30pm–5pm

EVERYDAY MATTERS explores the relationship between design, materiality and everyday life. Bringing together objects that shape our daily rituals, the exhibition highlights how craftsmanship, sensory qualities and thoughtful design influence the way we experience our surroundings.
From the personal significance of a favourite cup to the sensory interplay of scent, taste and botanical knowledge, the exhibition invites visitors to rediscover the meaning of ordinary objects and the small moments that shape our lives.
Set in the former canteen of Harry Glück’s Allianz building, the exhibition transforms the historic space into an immersive environment of warm light, dark surfaces and carefully presented objects.
