Duesseldorf/Germany: “Why don’t you organize this fantastic event twice
a year?” Questions like this and encouraging comments by enthusiastic
design lovers still make the organizers smile. But Ute Mirbach and Jan
Hasenberg stick to their strategy: DBD once a year, growing slowly and
improving steadily. |

When
they started in 1999, there was just the idea and a 1800-square-metre
industrial hall, no more - but 45 dealers and dedicated
collector-friends followed the idea and formed the first Design Boerse –
and it became a success! From the beginning it turned out to be a lively
event, and the first Duesseldorf-based market exclusively for
international vintage 20th Century Design Objects got off to a start.
From then on the DBD attracted more and more people, dealers and
visitors, and today, DESIGN BOERSE DUESSELDORF is THE annual German Fair
for Modern Design Classics – with its 10th return in 2008 presenting
about 140 dealers over 4000 square metres. The 10th return is now envisaged for October 2008 – with again about 140 dealers! 10th Design Boerse Duesseldorf will offer again finest 20th Century international Design. |

Visitors from USA, Japan and nearly all European countries meet in Duesseldorf every October. Indian summer on the Rhine combined with some great finds - more and more visitors have already made a tradition out of it. They combine their design trip to Paris/France, Amsterdam/Netherlands or Antwerp+Brussels/Belgium with their visit to Duesseldorf – and they are delighted! At the DESIGN BOERSE, they find all the important European Design Galleries as exhibitors – and even more, a talk with the young new gallerists and co-collectors who act as one-time sellers is always appreciated! All renowned auction houses active in the field of modern design are present with information booths: Dorotheum (Wien/Duessledorf), Herr (Cologne), Quittenbaum (Munich), Siebers (Stuttgart), von Zezschwitz (Munich). Netherland’s most read interior design magazine EIGENHUIS acts as a sponsor and is distributing free copies of its October edition again! |

Classic interior design pieces, furniture designed by architects, glass,
ceramics, collector’s silver jewelry, modernism, Bauhaus, Memphis,
Post-Modernism, mid-century – the programme is manifold, due to the
variety of offering galleries and private collectors. What they think
the visitor + design addict could love + wish to own – they bring it!
From Bauhaus via Scandinavian and American Mid-century to Memphis –
several hours are needed to cover the whole Design Boerse, a
concentrated event that starts on late Saturday afternoon for the
sellers (4 pm) and opens on Sunday morning for the public. |
