DING PONG aka Bring Your Thing

In collaboration with Kreislaufschränke e.V., we recently kicked off our first event with our baby kiosk. The kiosk is mounted on a bike trailer, making it perfect for small, spontaneous gatherings. For DING PONG, we baked cookies and cakes and brought along some refreshing spritzers.

At DING PONG, everyone brings an item and shares a story or the background behind it. In the end, the item can be gifted or swapped. This way, a little economy of sharing is created within our small circle.

The Concept

“Bring Your Thing” is an initiative by Anastasija Miskatovic, Benedikt Walch, Eva Fredrichs, and Johanna Oberst. This format was developed as part of the Social Design project “Future Identities” under the guidance of Dipl. Des. Katrin Lavillle during the winter semester of 2024/25, in collaboration with the cultural center LUISE and Kreislaufschränke München e.V. Be sure to follow “Bring Your Thing” on Instagram for all the latest updates!

Here’s a short selection of things that were shared:

Fidget Concentration Thing

Self-Felted Ladybug Keychain

Crab Sandals

An Iranian Bitter Orange

and also… …pasta from dm, a gourd from Papa Bernd’s garden and the analog map of Germany in its original condition, perfectly preserved in the drawer.
