"We want to present the development path of German modern design to the audience, so that people can have a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of German design," Du said. "We also hope that the exhibition can offer references for design theory, practice and education in China."

The exhibition provides opportunities and possibilities for Germany-China collaboration in academic research on design culture, said Thomas A. Geisler, director of Kunstgewerbemuseum, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.

The exhibition will run through the middle of April.
