With its entirely likable presentation, Wittman, the family-run processor of solid wood, was indisputably one of the rising stars of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK 2018. The company located in Upper Austria’s Almtal showed two current projects by a designer closely bound to the Festival: While industrial designer and festival exhibition designer Robert Rüf delighted the audience with alpine furniture, created for the restaurants at the new Patscherkofelbahn in Innsbruck, the hexagonal designs of MARCH GUT – not least thanks to their colors – seamlessly mated with the graphic typology of the Festival Headquarters’ pop-up café after Berlin’s Ars Electronica. More to come, hopefully!
