Built for Real Life: Korean Design Meets Berlin

Design MeetUp: Korean Design Meets Berlin

Built for Real Life

Meet the Korean design studios exhibiting at IFA Berlin 2026! 🇰🇷✨

As part of IFA Berlin 2026, four leading Korean product design studios are coming to Berlin—not only to showcase their work but also to connect with the city's startup and innovation community.

Under the theme "Built for Real Life," this meetup explores how great design goes beyond beautiful concepts. The participating studios specialize in transforming ideas into manufacturable products and meaningful user experiences by designing for real people, real environments, and real business challenges.

The evening begins with a series of short talks introducing each studio's design philosophy, selected projects, and approach to product innovation. A special guest keynote speaker will be announced soon! 🎤

After the presentations, join us for an informal networking session with designers, founders, startups, manufacturers, and innovation professionals from Berlin. 🤝

Whether you're looking for design collaboration, product development partners, or simply inspiring conversations, this is an opportunity to connect with Korea's design industry in a relaxed setting. We'll also be serving light Korean refreshments throughout the evening! 🍽️
