Passionswege — Vienna Design Week

Design connects. Especially in the case of Passionswege. Since its formation, VIENNA DESIGN WEEK has been bringing international and Austrian designers together with Viennese production companies as part of the curated format. Open processes are experimenting, creating and transferring knowledge free of the commercial constraints of common labour relations. The results of the respective cooperation - objects or installations - are shown directly on-site in often authentic Viennese workshops and business premises.
