Guided tour of the special exhibition with Chief Curator J. Göbel: “The New Dramaturgy of Eating: Design Beyond the Plate” (Focus: “Faktorei21”)

A classic restaurant meal usually follows strict rules—each guest eats from their own plate. The innovative design project “Faktorei21″—the focus of a guided tour on September 20, 2026—demonstrates that things can be done differently.
This project is the result of a creative collaboration between seven students from the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences and gourmet chef Christian Krüger of the “Faktorei21” restaurant in Duisburg. Together, the team completely reimagined the dining experience, creating bespoke porcelain and glass vessels specifically designed for sharing food. In doing so, the designs had to meet the rigorous demands of the kitchen as well as the logistical requirements of table service. Beyond the tableware, the students examined the entire guest experience—from the welcome ritual and the presentation of individual courses to the accompanying music. The tour offers visitors a fascinating insight into this forward-looking experiment.
Price: €5.00 | Adults pay an additional €1.00 for Sunday admission.
