German Design Award Winner 2027

Sometimes recognition comes a few months later. And that makes it all the sweeter.
Our exhibition stand for Schubert Packaging Machines at Interpack in Düsseldorf in May has won the German Design Award 2027 in the “Fair & Exhibition” category.

German Design Award Winner 2027

The brief was an exciting one: at the trade fair, Schubert introduced not only its new tog product line for straightforward packaging tasks and the latest generation of TLM systems, but also a new structure dividing its entire portfolio into three areas. Visitors needed to be able to see and experience these three areas without any explanation. Distinctive custom colours and pared-back, bold graphics give each area its own character. A curved banner connects the three worlds and brings a sense of movement to the space. For us, the stand captures exactly what is happening at Schubert right now: the brand is broadening its scope and opening up.

An exhibition presence this multifaceted, spanning 800 square metres, takes exceptional teamwork. As the agency with overall responsibility, we owe a huge thank-you to Julia Junker and her marketing team at Schubert for their trust, clear decisions and willingness to try something new; to Moritz Köhler and Studiokomo, who translated a marketing brief into outstanding architecture; and to Gernot Schad and the team at MAC. Brand Spaces, whom we could count on as always. Photography: Zooey Braun, as always.
Our shared goal was to get Schubert’s customers excited about the brand and its products. The fact that it has now impressed a jury too is a lovely bonus. Thank you all. It was a lot of fun.
