Annually, during Vienna Design Week, designaustria showcases and advocates contemporary design as well as the crucial interaction between designers, companies, and the public audience. With talks, advisory and exhibitions, the programme of designforum Wien demonstrates best practise of a strong professional community of designers.
As official partner of the New European Bauhaus since 2022, designaustria strongly puts emphasis on the necessity of circular oriented design for a successful transition to circular economy. Therefore, designaustria makes use of its centrally located headquarters designforum Wien in Vienna to present, discuss, and promote the importance of design to a large audience.
