a product useful and number three good design is a static. after. you get all these ideas to keep it simple she's people were looking for the essence of design how you have to make product how you have to make graphic design if you don't always use your mind it's astonished that you can find to design a fantastic designer like. but you can sink to very well and you can write it down humanity's principles and it's an eye opener for want of people and that's fantastic the fourth principle good design makes a product understandable number five good design is unobtrusive and number six good design is honest design professor klaus klemp has created a room at the museum of applied art in frankfurt in honor of the toms with his universal shelving system six zero six and other classics transformed the world's

who has always kept the big picture in mind. he's never been able to relate to the modern ages throwaway society. and i know i think he's an exceptional figure not just because of his own designs which of course played a huge role especially in the one nine hundred sixty s. when he created totally new devices but also his emphasis on the community as a whole being interested in society in early interest in ecology. and his interest in making objects that don't look out of date quickly so they don't get cast aside i think he's still a role model. and of course a forward. with this book says to young has created a lasting memorial to detach design principles tend and last principle sums up his core beliefs good design is as little design as possible less truly is more.

and saying on the topic of right on with our own off culture i lights in today's max express. british star author ken follett has presented his new novel column a fire at the frankfurt book fair fall it is topping the bestseller lists and is already planning his next novel. frankfurt is the world's biggest book fair with seven thousand three hundred exhibitors from over one hundred countries offering the latest in print and e-books . right now it's only open to. professionals but the public will be able to visit this weekend. let's go for house in milan is showing theater costumes from eighty years of performances highlights include the dress from salomé designed by johnny for

the new voices song contest every two years here in germany at the scene as one of the top competitions of its kind in europe it's an ideal stepping stone for young singers hoping for a professional career this year off the succeeding qualifying stages forty two competitors from around the world have made it to the finals they are counted taking place in the western german town of. up for the big moment ten minutes to sing. it's a performance that could change the lives of the young singers. it's not just a competition but it's a powerful way you can so he said holland and he can be guided you know kitty are wise because not only it's a competition to get wet shops you get kitty advice from the jewelry you also get

a constructive criticism from the jury which can help you as a young see going forward forty two singers have been invited to take part in the finals in the town of hooters low i. mean i auditioned. but i was thinking and. i'm here finally. sophie magdalena going to is one of six german finalists. but even though i was very nervous but that's normal luckily otherwise i'd have been scared the jury is very quiet and nice no one scouse at you or anything it's actually quite pleasant to hear. voices has been running for thirty years. nice to me when i'm

a new voice is very well known for us singers it's one of the three most important competitions. the competition was the brainchild of mon back then the goal was to address the lack of singers on stages in the german speaking world. once limited to western europe the competition is now truly international. so that in the beginning there were forty performers who applied and now it's fifteen hundred and that's a huge spectrum. and when you think about everything that's happened in thirty years how the world has changed well culture has changed to. simply taking part is

a big boost for the young singers the auditorium is full of agents and managers on the lookout for new talent. the ten member international jury is made up of renowned opera directors musicians and critics. and a scholar for there are four points that we consider technique but the musical presentation stage presence and voice quality. the singers are performing at a very high level and they're evenly matched. it's only rarely in a competition maybe once in twenty years that you come across an exceptional voice or they've usually been discovered already. but the competition has helped some well known stars achieve fame like german singer christy on a card who took part in two thousand and seven.

the bertelsmann foundation continues to support potential future stars after the competition they provide contacts and information on job offers stages in germany and austria remain a popular choice for performers. and if i'm actually quite confident there are jobs out there there are opera houses looking for singers so there's room for us and. the winner here will take home fifteen thousand euros in prize money but what the singers really want from the competition is a future in opera. we'll keep you posted on the lucky awareness and another show there's a new coffee in northern germany where packing is not only allowed but even in carrots the cotton sample is a coffee. can hang out with some friendly feline sounds crazy but it's a concept that is paying off the demands of color with cats in fact there are more

and more caca face popping up around europe we stop by at the latest one and have book. here you can cuddle with kant's while you sit your coffee. newman. mellow and five furry colleagues have been living in this hamburg cafe for just a few weeks but they're already old hands at dealing with attention from their two legged visitors. cafe owner a lot of high end chose them for their relaxed temperament so this because i haven't they have to be cats that enjoy being around people that like hustle and bustle and want affection i put up a post on facebook saying that i was looking for cats and linked it to an animal shelter here but i got responses from other animal protection organizations ones that primarily taken animals from abroad so now i have five cats from ireland and one from greece and i'm not asking. really right she used to work as a p.r.

and event consultant she heard about cat cafes in asia the world's first one opened in taiwan twenty years ago now many cities in europe have them too but this is the first one in hamburg and it's very popular weekends reserving a table is a must. have high shootings it's really nice i love cats and animals in general and i think it's really great that there's finally one of these in hamburg so that's what is out of here so versatile is this a great idea for something different so that's seen this elsewhere in copenhagen looking through the something that is here now i'm a big fan of cats. that's middle of just being here with the cats as if they belonged here i really like that because when my mom. yeah it's a bit like being at home. to make sure there aren't any hairballs in the food the kitchen is off limits to the kiddies and the offerings for the human guests are

strictly speaking only the cats get meat and milk. cat psychologist tachyon i'm editing is visiting the cafe for the first time she wants to know how the cats here are doing. and i often deal with the problem of what happens when people are gone on to their cats are home alone for ten hours at a time and when the people come home they don't really have the energy to entertain is catch on it's totally different here the cats are entertained for hours on end and i think it's great the cats have plenty of opportunities to be on their own and to climb up a lie and not many cats have them so it's a very well thought out here. that's never does assume the stuff here. if the cats are happy the guests are happy then the owners happy to leave the room document and if i've had a really bad day and i feel like everything's terrible then i go through the cafe and say goodbye to the cats newman drapes himself across my neck serenus it so my

lap and then i feel like it's all not so bad they just make you happy i notice that with a guest too they often leave feeling really happy because the cats create such a nice atmosphere such a relaxed diving to. just her your cares away what could be easier. maybe that concept will become famous over that brings us nicely to our serious regional success stories today i just have to say we're not talking about photography though this report is all about good food the swiss frame is for that. known as a king amongst us across from the village of the same name invests so that. the small medieval town of with its impressive fortress is surrounded by the foothills of the swiss alps.

the name clearly comes from the town's emblem the crane in french. is home to just over two thousand people. every year around a million tourists come to the home of the famous cheese. i've dated so many times i've really enjoyed that we can buy in brazil and it wasn't a foreign lover strong she's like a mature. if you have tyro definitely think she's. out of the hosting breed graze on the hills surrounding the town in all the country has fifty one l. pine cheese daringness that. using traditional methods. the belair family's dairy is at an altitude of sixteen hundred metres they have a herd of just over fifty cows. works all hours to make the cheese. first the mochas gently heated in a huge cup of fact as

a pickens east of two wooden scoops. the beginning is the most important phase in the production. and these scoops ensure that the mixture divides and the kurds separate out. look. the cheese is now beginning to take shape. the best way to test its consistency is by how. clear it is always made with unpasteurized milk. that's a good quality. i always check and find we don't have any technical equipment here to check things we rely totally on our senses. and here you can already feel how soft to. look at how the kurds have separated.

more technology and a lot more bats can be found at another day right. unlike the alpine dairies this place is open to the public who can watch the production process from a gallery. the rounds of teas are left to mature at thirteen degrees celsius each one comes with tristan allowing customers to get back to the produce a if they have a complaint. as the number of the dairy that's here. the number will also be on the packaging later. so if someone buys this in germany they can enter the number online. and find out which dairy the cheese that comes from. grazed on the matter is used for the famous delicacy which has one international awards as the world's

best cheese. to make it difficult. but don't forget to put across so i'm going to the hot spots otherwise you'll make obvious marks on the table like i do all the time and if you think i'm right but you don't have any coast. our audio expert going to show you in a new episode of. how to make your own table mats in just a few steps. hi my name is sally and today i'm going to show you how to bright yellow trendy you wouldn't coasters they are ideal for pantry candles a flower. you'll need three glued wooden squares made of spruce about twenty centimeters on each side designed for oil and sticky tape in two different widths

the color doesn't matter and chalk paint sorry chose matt black and two pastel colors she got everything at a d.i.y. or craft store. a triangular ruler a straight ruler and a pen. and you also need a sponge paper towels and some scissors. plus a transparent and round cream wax from the d.i.y. store a small pot to thin the brown wax in and of brush. first add a small amount of water to the brown wax to make it spreadable stir with the brush and apply evenly on all sides. also cover the cut surfaces. once the wood is dry that takes around thirty minutes take the first board and use the triangular ruler and a pen to draw two triangles whose tips connect. then

apply the sticky tape along the insides of the triangle pattern. measure the distance to the next triangle measure one point five centimeters between the individual triangles make sure the lines run parallel that's important for the pattern use this method to create the entire pattern stick tape to the cut surfaces stick to wide strips of tape onto the second board with a distance of five centimeters between use the design for oil to give the last board as zigzag pattern. mark the spikes inside with a pen and ruler and cut out the pattern with the scissors the patterns here are around six point five centimeters wide then attach a wide strip of sticky tape to the middle of the board. stick the design forward to the edges. then add a row of spikes with

a distance of two centimeters they must face one another. press the tape and the foil firmly so no paint can get underneath also stick tape to the edges. now the three boards are ready for painting. stretch a rubber band across the painting to wipe off excess paint then use the brush to paint the free spaces on the wooden boards. if you want different facts use a piece of the sponge and dip it into the paint. then dab it on the paper towel and then on the empty spaces. the irregular look gives it a vintage feel. like

to paint dry before removing this sticky tape. if there's any paint left under the table use a sharp object like the blade of a knife to scratch it off. finally add the transparent wax to seal and avoid scratches. you can have to differ and. depending. and that was a bit too far if you want to see that video again are all the interesting d.i.y.
