mcbw masterclass x Michael Geldmacher and Stefanie Kubanek

mcbw masterclass for students and young professionals. Join us and learn from leading designers! Gain broad insights into their professional fields and their projects.

For the first time, the mcbw masterclass event series offers school students and young professionals up to the age of 30 the opportunity to learn from established designers and participate in personal exchanges with them. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., you will learn first-hand in their studio what it means to be a designer today, what qualities you need to bring to the table, and what obstacles you might encounter.

Michael Geldmacher and Stefanie Kubanek are the founders of the MUCNYC design studio, which was established in 2019. With international experience in industrial, furniture, and strategic design, both combine functional thinking with an intercultural perspective and a collaborative approach. They remember their student days at the Royal College of Art in London and the Munich University of Applied Sciences as imbued with devotion and utter dedication to their studies, but also to university life. At their masterclass, they aim to convince participants how fascinating a design degree can be, and what lessons it can teach—about design, about personal discovery, and about society. Be ready to follow the motto: Immerse yourself, explore yourself, exhaust yourself!

In order to fill the limited number of 20 places fairly and give everyone the same chance, we ask you to apply by April 10, 2026. The selection will take place in calendar week 16.
