PLATFORM 2025

Special things are placed on the PLATFORM: Austrian and international companies, museums, cultural institutions, universities, galleries, and architectural and design offices of every size cooperate closely with the festival team as they present contributions that they have specially produced for the festival.

The fact that the V in VIENNA DESIGN WEEK also stands for variety is underlined by the impressive spectrum proudly exhibited by partners from A to Z: Project presentations, experiments, exhibitions, pop-ups, events, performances, workshops, installations, outreach programs, talks, and much, much more can be admired in locations all across the city. 

The contributions are organized autonomously by the PLATFORM participants and compiled by the festival team. New this year: For those who do not have a location but want to show something at the festival – or vice versa, those who have a location but no suitable content – there is now the format Mixer!, in which the curatorial team of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK ensures the right mix of content and venues.
