Anniversary Tour

FINAL STOP: FERAL FEAST at Concéntrico

As part of its 20th anniversary, VIENNA DESIGN WEEK is travelling across Europe with a series of temporary interventions, collaborations, and encounters. The final stop of the Anniversary Tour takes place at Concéntrico in Logroño.

For Feral Feast (look back to the Feral Feast atVDW24​​​​​​​)urban forager Gaja Pegan Nahtigal and transdisciplinary designer Liza Sočan transform an existing installation into a communal dining experience. Drawing on locally foraged ingredients, Slovenian culinary traditions, ceramics, and design objects, they create a shared table where food becomes a medium for exchange, hospitality, and collective experience.

Foraged plants and ingredients gathered in and around Logroño are brought together and served alongside specially selected tableware by Viennese designers, turning the table into a playful landscape of objects, flavours, gestures, and stories.

VIENNA DESIGN WEEK Anniversary Tour at World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026 with Tisch 7

Fourth Stop:Horsing Around – Don’t Hold Back

As part of its 20th anniversary, VIENNA DESIGN WEEK embarks on an Anniversary Tour across Europe. Through temporary interventions, collaborations, and unexpected encounters, the festival makes stops at selected locations — one of them being Frankfurt am Main as part of World Design Capital 2026.

At the invitation of VIENNA DESIGN WEEK, the Viennese collective Tisch 7 takes over Frankfurt’s iconic bar Gute Stute for one evening. Under the title Horsing Around – Don’t Hold Back, an intervention unfolds between installation, social space, object, and performance.

A Trojan horse is coming to Frankfurt — not to conquer the city, but to smuggle young Viennese design into it. Selected objects from Gute Stute were brought to Vienna, transformed by Tisch 7, and returned to Frankfurt as hybrid artefacts. Throughout the evening, these objects are activated, used, altered, and collectively experienced.

Somewhere between irony and sincerity, a temporary situation emerges in which design becomes visible as a social process — shaped by appropriation, interaction, and shared experience. The evening is complemented by food, drinks, music, and spatial interventions.

Tisch 7 is an interdisciplinary collective based in Vienna consisting of Valentin Bauer, Lenz Dreher, Theresa Pöschl, Valentina Lian Sturn, and Leon Theodor. Working at the intersection of design, art, and space, the collective develops projects that deliberately resist easy categorisation. Their practice is site-specific, playful, and process-oriented, focusing less on finished objects and more on transformation, use, and collective experience.

Also joining the event is Frankfurt-based designer Kai Linke, who will present in Frankfurt for the first time the project he developed together with Schnitzstube Stadlhofer as part of the Passionswege programme at VIENNA DESIGN WEEK 2025.
