Berlin – Our one-year ceramic presence in Berlin begins with an exciting lecture. As a guest at the ELEMENTE materialForum, interested parties learned first-hand about the scope that three-dimensional customized ceramics open up in architecture. Our presentation answered questions about how haptics can be controlled and what influence this has on the visual effect.
The focus is on the design possibilities of geometries and surfaces in interaction with the environment. Various examples are used to highlight surfaces, fixing options and material properties of project-specific architectural ceramics. The lecture can be listened to in the online exhibition of the ELEMENTE materialForum.
The ELEMENTE materialForum is an independent platform for innovative materials and sustainable technologies in Berlin. It brings together manufacturers and users from the fields of architecture, product development and design. These lecture evenings on the subject of the accompanying exhibitions are the focal points of the ELEMENTE materialForum. Architects, civil engineers, designers and product developers discuss their latest materials, projects and products with manufacturers.
The material library of selected materials in the form of material samples is located in the middle of Kreuzberg. Special attention is paid here to the sustainability of these materials (see elemente-material homepage, October 2021). With this attitude, m&r Manufaktur also produces façade ceramics, wall tiles and contract ceramics for architecture and interior design. A small selection can be viewed directly in Kreuzberg. Please feel free to contact us for addresses of our ceramic facades. Our ORO BIANCO HANDMADE TILES stoneware tiles can also be seen installed in Berlin at Authentic Kitchen and in our showrooms in the Westerwald and Saarland.

ACOUSTICS, VISUALITY & HAPTICS – shapes, colors and textures
“Sensitive coloring, material structuring and form design enable a healthy relationship between people and the surrounding space by stimulating conscious auditory, tactile and visual perception to a beneficial degree.”
