The Midsummer Session is a unique interview format designed by Dante Goods and Bads to foster creativity, reflection, and connection among our designers.
This initiative gathered our talented team for a short, yet profoundly enriching period in our headquarters deep in the Bavarian forest. During the Midsummer Session, our designers stepped away from their usual routines to embrace the tranquillity of natural surroundings.

The core of the Midsummer Session lies in the conversations we’ve facilitated. We’ve delved deep into the minds of our designers, focusing on their aims, ambitions, and visions for the future. We’ve explored their personal circumstances and wishes, seeking to understand their relationships with objects and the meanings these objects might hold for others.

The questions posed during these sessions drew inspiration from a variety of profound sources. They echo the introspective nature of Max Frisch’s “Fragebogen,” the whimsical wisdom of fortune cookie sayings, the raw honesty of “Confession of Depression” by Langreuter/Schmidbauer, the existential inquiry of “Will Happiness Find You?” by Fischli/Weiss, and the contemplative silence found in Heinrich Böll’s “Murke’s Collected Silences.” These diverse influences shaped our conversations, encouraging our designers to ponder deeply and share openly.
