designforum Wien
As part of the anniversary programme celebrating 20 years of designforum Wien and 20 years of Vienna Design Week, designforum Wien presents the NEXT GEN DESIGN exhibition.
NEXT GEN DESIGN is a three-year European programme of design competitions, exhibitions and events that supports—particularly young designers—in creating and adopting sustainable design practices. It aims to foster the transition towards a circular economy and contribute to the European Green Deal.
The project brings together five leading European design platforms and festivals: Skopje Design Week, Mikser Festival (Belgrade), designaustria at designforum Wien (Vienna), What Design Can Do (Amsterdam) and Barcelona Design Week.
The exhibition presents selected works and concepts by a new generation of designers addressing today’s environmental and societal challenges and developing innovative approaches for sustainable future.
