No matter what is currently in the sink: with the flat shower, an additional option is available for a clear laminar and voluminous shower spray. Intuitively you change at the hansgrohe sink with the Aquno Select M81 mixer to the just needed jet. The three options make the versatile mixer a multi-talent, the combination of flatness and round arch makes the fitting become the new archetype in the kitchen.

Companies now have the influence and scope to reinvent themselves, by developing visions of the future that consider "People, Planet & Profit" as an inseparable unit to enable sustainable success. But what does this mean in practice, and how can companies manage the necessary transformation processes?

YO-YO – a Special Kind of Talent Promotion. “Design a Yo-Yo!” More than 170 Phoenix Design Academy interns have worked on this challenge to date, and each yo-yo is surprisingly different. These yo-yos are the visible result of talent promotion filled with life. All yo-yos were created under comparable conditions: at the end of a sixmonth internship, over the course of two days. As to the concept and its realisation, the up-and-coming designers can tap the know-how of the experienced product designers, user experience designers as well as surface designers and model-makers, and get their support in all areas. The final presentation in front of the entire design team is also part of the assignment.

Today, a space is also an aesthetic statement, an expression of attidute. Private spaces tend to function as social and physical hubs, centers for our life of return to and feel at home in. This book deals with spaces which we like to spend time, literally as well as figuratively.
The book contains over 100 brands and products from the fields of interior design, furniture, lighting, home accessories and architecture. Therefore we are all the more pleased to be part of it > AXOR MyEdition, designed by Phoenix Design.

AXOR MyEdition: Individualisation at the highest level. AXOR Places is the start of a brand campaign for the Salone del Mobile that explores the places of longing of famous architects and designers or design studios such as PHOENIX. The idea is as simple as it is obvious: a piece of the world is entering the bathroom. This transformation is achieved at product level by means of completely customisable fitting materials (AXOR MyEdition), whose origin lies in the places of longing of the Design Partners. Andreas Diefenbach, Managing Partner, Phoenix Design, will present an extraordinary place of longing at the Salone. Let us surprise you.

In the workshop, the students went to their own work: collect adjectives and pieces of furniture and build a "fast model"! A charming wardrobe or a pointed lamp? The youngsters are allowed to model their favorite combination of simple materials (e.g. corrugated cardboard, wire, straws) according to their own ideas. Research, find ideas, analyze, further develop, implement together, present - all tasks that also have to be dealt with in everyday professional design. There are no limits for the fanatasy. And besides, creativity, willingness to experiment, networked thinking and a well-designed environment are encouraged.

With this, PHOENIX wants to raise awareness early on about the processes and decisions behind a finished product - because it influences our everyday culture and the perspective with which we see things.

The E-vita OPEN NEO is a Frozen Elephant-Trunk implant. It combines a conventional vascular prosthesis with an endovascular stent graft and thus allows the simultaneous treatment of the ascending aorta, the aortic arch and the descending aorta within one procedure. The E-vita OPEN NEO thus represents an alternative to conventional open surgery. The insertion system of the E-vita OPEN NEO follows a new design language - pure, reduced to the essential. The clear colour coding structures and underlines the ergonomic, significant and intuitive operability.

The E-nya Stent Graft System was developed for the endovascular treatment of diseases of the descending thoracic aorta. With E-nya, a sterile implant is inserted permanently into the body using an insertion system. During release into the aorta, the stent graft expands to cover the damaged vascular segment. This ensures that the blood flow is maintained. The E-nyas delivery system follows a new design language - pure, reduced to the essential. It is structured by clear colour coding and underlines the ergonomic and intuitive operability.

Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der Menschen für ihre Meinung auf die Straße gehen. Uns beschäftigt der ausbeuterische Umgang mit der Natur, wir setzen uns für die Anerkennung von Menschenrechten ein und demonstrieren gegen unsinnige Kriege; oder wir protestieren gegen Mietwucher und kämpfen für das Recht auf bezahlbaren Wohnraum. Haben Designer Einfluss auf solche Entwicklungen? Oder beeinflusst unsere Wahrnehmung dieser gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen die Ideen von Kreativen? Von der nachhaltigen Produktidee über ökologische Produktionsverfahren bis hin zu schlauen und praktischen Einrichtungsideen: die Teilnehmer der Diskussionsrunde zur imm cologne 2020 versuchen die Rolle von Designern bei der Gestaltung unserer Zukunft zu erfassen. Der Designjournalist und Trendforscher Frank A. Reinhardt (far.consulting) diskutiert mit den Designern Jeannette Altherr (Studio ADP), Matthias Oesterle (Phoenix Design) und Martin Hirth über das Wohnen und Leben in der Zukunft.
