DMY Youngsters is the youth crowd for the DMY Berlin festival, representing young and experimental projects from a roster of international up-and-coming designers. Emergent designers and young design studios from Europe to Asia and Australia as well as design academies from The Netherlands, England, Czech Republic, Sweden and Germany present their current projects and prototypes, giving insight into the latest developments in the field of design here; making it one of the most exciting arenas to visit.

One great piece we've spotted here is Habitus from Sebastian Jansson. Habitus is a bar stool inspired by the coffee leaf, initially developed and manufactured during designer Sebastian Jansson’s recent time in Milan in 2008-09. It was originally designed to feature in café and coffee shop of Kaffa Roastery based in Helsinki, (Jansson also created the brand identity and communication for this boutique coffee roaster) but Habitus is now represented internationally. With its sculptural appearance, the stool gives character to a space and environment, inviting the eye to glance over its anthropomorphic structure. By studying the formation of coffee leaves, Jansson was able to re-create the stool through this intricate arrangement of geometric forms, whilst maintaining its aesthetic qualities and comfort.
