The workshop:
Building bridges

We're thrilled to be showcasing the Kizuna Hitsche project for the first time as part of the City Making Summit in June 2025 on the Chemnitz ECOC program!

It is an honour to be telling our story alongside ideas from Japanese star architect Kengo Kuma, among others.

This is a unique opportunity for participants to engage directly with the project's core concepts: intercultural exchange, hands-on craftsmanship, and exploring the power of design to create meaningful connections.

Full-scale workshops with hands-on stool-building concepts are planned in Germany and Japan moving forward.

If you are interested in hosting a Kizuna Hitsche workshop, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
