Foundation members speaking about the German Design Council
»The Brand Management Committee is a top-notch event format. There is a candid and trustworthy dialogue amongst the exclusive participants, facilitating the sharing of experiences, discussion of ideas and the further development of strategies. A win-win situation for everyone.« Andreas Dornbracht ' Managing Director ' Aloys F. Dornbracht GmbH & Co. KG »Now more than ever before, the image – not only of automotive brands – is shaped by the design of the products. The German Design Council has recognised this and as a member, one positions oneself as a brand amongst the best.« Gorden Wagener ' Head of Design ' Daimler AG »Designing relationships: Walter Knoll forms relationships. With designers and architects, to customers, partners and employees. Since the exchange with like-minded people inspires, to develop beyond the realm of industrial sectors, the dialogue leads straight to new solutions. The German Design Council feels committed to this exchange. Whether at foundation meetings, conferences or committees – these events unite the cultural and economic values of the innovative and visionary corporate brands representing German design. These synergies promote excellence and we truly value them.« Markus Benz ' CEO and Managing Director ' Walter Knoll AG & Co. KG »The German Design Council offers a valuable exchange between disciplines that are crucial for me – design, architecture, and interior design. I perceive the network and the subsequent transfer of knowledge as an important form of support, which I would no longer like to do without. Whether during workshops, conversations with experts or the public relations activities: the German Design Council never ceases to impress me with the consistent level of high quality.« Hadi Teherani ' Managing Director ' Hadi Teherani AG »At the German Design Council, premium brands encounter one another at the highest level, in order to further establish the design label »Made in Germany« in an international context as well.« Franz Kaldewei ' Managing Director ' Franz Kaldewei GmbH & Co. KG »Brand-shaping design is increasingly becoming a success factor for German industrial companies as well. That is why a foundation membership with the German Design Council is so valuable for SimonsVoss. The intensive exchange at the highest level creates competitive advantages and endorses the quality of our company and our products.« Nicole Huffer ' Corporate Vice President Marketing Communications ' SimonsVoss Technologies GmbH »50 years ago, my father Heinz Röntgen established Nya Nordiska; his creative and visionary spirit has left a mark on our textile editeur, which he initially established together with our mother Diete Hansl-Röntgen. The brand is known throughout the world for innovative textile design, family operated in the second generation. Values such as innovation and continuity strengthen us and a periodic exchange with other companies and important experts is therefore all the more valuable. The manner in which the German Design Council offers this is unsurpassed: uncomplicated, inspirational and always on an equal footing, for questions pertaining to design and many other fascinating topics.« Remo Röntgen ' Managing Director ' Nya Nordiska Textiles GmbH
