As indicated by the title of the exhibition "Materiality", Benjamin Hubert exercises a materials driven design approach. Much of the studios inspiration originates from a tactile response to raw material and the experience of a close working relationship between the product, process and craftsmen. The exhibition at Direktorenhaus articulates this distinctive approach by revealing a series of images, components,
prototypes and materials, creating a temporal wormhole from the London based studio to the heart of Berlin. This will sup- port a collection of new and earlier work from Hubert, which will be on display throughout the Direktorenhaus to highlight the narrative, values and design language that are fundamental to the young designers work.
Hubert founded his industrial design studio, Benjamin Hubert in 2007 shortly after graduating from Loughborough University, UK, in 2006. In addition, between 2004-2009, both before and during the setup his design studio, Hubert worked for a variety of large design consultancies working in fields covering transport, interiors, consumer and packaging design.
