Book Chapter by Dagmar

We are pleased to announce that Dagmar Steffen has contributed a chapter to the book ‘Vision & Verantwortung. Zur Gründung der HfG Offenbach,’ offering valuable insights into the influence of the Offenbach School’s Product Design department.

The book examines the extent to which the vision that founding rector Dieter Döpfner had for the Hochschule für Gestaltung (HfG) Offenbach, Germany, could be realized after its founding in 1970. Dagmar’s essay “Die HfG Offenbach: mehr als die Summe ihrer Teile,” she reflects in particular on the influence that research and teaching at the Offenbach School’s Product Design department had on design discourse and design practice in Germany and abroad.

The launch of the book will be at the HfG on 20 November 2024, at 18:00. Details can be found here.
