Colourful and dense, experimental and spiced with a refreshing pinch of actionism: such will be the programme of this year‘s VIENNA DESIGN WEEK, which will again turn the city into an arena for an inspiring crossover of art, architecture, design and craft.
Exhibitions, installations, workshops, talks and a public design laboratory will create a melting pot for an international design exchange as well as a baroquish festival celebrating Vienna‘s charm between tradition, avant-garde and the latest vogue.
