Innenkreis is a new gallery dedicated to functional artworks presented in relation to pre-1940 decorative arts. Craft forms the foundation of the programme, with a focus on studio-made uniques and small editions defined by material intelligence, disciplined execution, and a poetic sensibility. Contemporary works are placed alongside historical objects selected for their conceptual and material relevance, forming composed interiors rather than neutral displays.
