The publication provides insights into the innovative works produced by the product design course at the Fachhochschule (Technical College) Düsseldorf under the direction of Elisabeth Holder and Herman Hermsen. This highlights many facets of jewellery and product design and the resulting tensions between art and design, ornament and commodity, unique specimen and serial production. The most recent creations by staff, students and graduates afford a comprehensive survey of the varied work inspired by this course. A textual kaleidoscope taken from a round of talks between graduates and students which reflects the different facets of college and professional life, rounds off the reflections on jewellery and product design at the Technical College Düsseldorf. The book continues our successful series on the innovative potential of a young generation of artists creating jewellery and design in Germany (already published: Zeichenakademie Hanau, Fachhochschule Idar-Oberstein, Fachhochschule Pforzheim).
