Pecha Kucha was conceived in 2003 as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. But as we all know, give a microphone to a designer (especially an architect) and you’ll be trapped for hours. The key to Pecha Kucha Night is its patented system of avoiding this fate. Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds – giving him 6 minutes and 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show something.
Pecha Kucha (which is Japanese for the sound of conversation) has tapped into a demand for a forum in which creative work can be easily and informally shown, without having to rent a gallery or chat up a magazine editor. This is a demand that seems to be global – as Pecha Kucha Night, without any pushing, has spread virally to over 80 cities across the world. Find a location and join the conversation.

The Decumo is a platform for young designers to exhibit and sell their work. At this years Decumo we met many friends and Totems even supported the brand new fashion label “5 Töchter”, powered by Zweigart. At the Pecha Kucha Night the young design ladies presented their latest work.

Frank and Cüneyit represented Totems and showed rejected work. Frank said, it is a shame, that all the beautiful work disappears in some bloody drawer and no one actually cares anymore. THIS AIN’T GOOD!

They hold a very amusing keynote about the Totems work. It rather was a TRIBUTE 2 TOTEMS. Giving the work one more moment of glory.

In the end they were asked what’s happening with all these concepts? “We have a great idea!” Frank replied and aksed the audience for some patience. Totems always surprises.

The final performance was hold by an architecture student from Bulgaria. He really was hilarious. His story was about a small white square travelling to Bulgaria, in a 1963 Cadillac! Any questions?
