Festival Review & Press Highlights 2025

Dear partners, friends, and companions,

This year marked the nineteenth edition of VIENNA DESIGN WEEK – and once again, it was a year unlike any other. We look back with gratitude on a festival full of exciting projects, new encounters, and creative impulses. Our heartfelt thanks go out to our loyal and new cooperation partners, sponsors, and team members! Thanks to your support, Austria’s largest design festival was once again able to demonstrate in 2025 just how vibrant, critical, and diverse design can be today.

On our website, you can find a photographic review of the 2025 festival, as well as the Festival Review and Press Highlights available for download.

No festival without strong partnerships: Once again, VIENNA DESIGN WEEK was able to rely on the steady support of its long-standing partners – institutions, companies, and organizations that contribute to the festival on conceptual, financial, and idealistic levels.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing reviews and highlights across our channels – we’d love for you to share them, too! As always, we’re happy to hear from you with any questions, suggestions, or ideas for collaboration.

We’re already hard at work on the 20th edition of VIENNA DESIGN WEEK, taking place from September 25 to October 4, 2026. Save the date – we look forward to seeing you again in 2026!

With warm regards,
Your VIENNA DESIGN WEEK Team
