Looking forward to talking about Madness and Imagination. I'm planning to show some of the preparations for this talk, next week. The topic fits like a glove for both the conference and what I personally love (making things) and fear (that I'm *just* imagining things) most. Get a ticket before they're gone. There are not many left.
As already spoiled in our newsletter: I am super happy to welcome Oliver Reichenstein back to #btconf. 12(!) years ago he spoke at the very first one in Berlin and now he is back to celebrate out 15th anniversary in Düsseldorf. https://lnkd.in/dXQSUpXa

To improve anything, we need to dare to think and make what doesn’t exist. Whether or not we’re just imagining things will become clear after the fact. Madness and Imagination is Oliver Reichenstein’s opening talk at this year’s beyond tellerrand in Düsseldorf. It explores the tension between madness and the courage it takes to make new things. https://lnkd.in/giMaZymf

Excited to announce that Oliver Reichenstein is coming to beyond tellerrand Düsseldorf 2026. Oliver was on our stage in Berlin back in 2014, talking about information architecture and the metaphors we use to make sense of the web. It was one of those talks that quietly shifts how you think about things – well at least for me it was ;) He’s the founder of Information Architects株式会社 (iA), the studio behind iA Writer, iA Presenter, and most recently the iA Notebook, a paper product ten years in development that just won the Red Dot Best of the Best award. The first paper notebook to ever receive it, as far as I know. What I appreciate most about Oliver is that he works at the intersection of philosophy and design in a way that’s genuinely useful – not theoretical for its own sake. He asks why things are the way they are, and builds tools that reflect a real answer. I’m looking forward to hearing what he has to say on the Düsseldorf stage this time in April. Don’t miss out. 🎟 Tickets: check the first comment … 📅 27–28 April 2026 · Capitol Theater, Düsseldorf #btconf #beyondtellerrand #design #iA #iAWriter #philosophy #conference

Writing is hard work. Sometimes we can focus for hours without feeling any strain. Sometimes we feel exhausted before completing the first paragraph, and we don’t know why. What can we do to get—and stay—in the flow? https://lnkd.in/gv_TFnMS

My favorite topic: "Working in Microsoft Office, we are trapped in an old world that ceased to exist decades ago. Like the office in Severance, the office embedded in Microsoft Office is fetishized: margins, borders, and page numbers are treated as signals of authority rather than remnants of a paper era."
