With this edition, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viennadesignweek.at\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VIENNA DESIGN WEEK<\/a> celebrates its 20th anniversary. Around 200 events at approximately 50 locations across the city showcase everything contemporary design has to offer: from exhibitions and installations to talks, tours, and workshops, most of them free of charge.<br \/>\nAudience favorites such as Passionswege, where designers collaborate with traditional craft businesses, and the Stadtarbeit format, which brings interventions into public space to reshape the cityscape, are once again part of the anniversary edition. New this year is a Europe-wide Anniversary Tour, through which the festival team is celebrating its 20-year milestone on an international scale as well. As Austria&#8217;s most important, multidisciplinary design festival, the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK continually raises the question of what role design plays in urban life and beyond.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"container overflow-hidden customer-gutenberg-images-2-horizontal mb-4 \" id=\"customer-gutenberg-block_3419e4e0d8a57c7afba00883463acc16\">\n\t<div class=\"row align-items-center justify-content-center\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-6\">\t\t\t<div class=\"customer-gutenberg-images-2-horizontal-src d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/www.vmm.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/PLATFORM-Museum-of-Architecture-and-Design-MAO-Centre-for-Creativity-CzK-Copyright-Pier-Carlo-Quecchia-DSL-Studio-Vienna-Design-Week-1-scaled.jpg);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid d-block d-lg-none mb-5\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vmm.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/PLATFORM-Museum-of-Architecture-and-Design-MAO-Centre-for-Creativity-CzK-Copyright-Pier-Carlo-Quecchia-DSL-Studio-Vienna-Design-Week-1-scaled.jpg\">\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-6 text-center\">\t\t\t<div class=\"customer-gutenberg-images-2-horizontal-src d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/www.vmm.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/PLATFORM-NP-Experience-Design-Copyright-NP-Experience-Design-Vienna-Design-Week-scaled.jpg);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid d-block d-lg-none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vmm.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/PLATFORM-NP-Experience-Design-Copyright-NP-Experience-Design-Vienna-Design-Week-scaled.jpg\">\n\t\t<\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"container overflow-hidden customer-gutenberg-images-2-horizontal mb-4 \" id=\"customer-gutenberg-block_0f82c19a731854f5c2bf36805fbb0352\">\n\t<div class=\"row align-items-center justify-content-center\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-6\">\t\t\t<div class=\"customer-gutenberg-images-2-horizontal-src d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/www.vmm.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/PLATFORM-design-without-borders-Copyright-Alexandra-Kovacs-Vienna-Design-Week-scaled.jpg);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid d-block d-lg-none mb-5\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vmm.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/PLATFORM-design-without-borders-Copyright-Alexandra-Kovacs-Vienna-Design-Week-scaled.jpg\">\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-6 text-center\">\t\t\t<div class=\"customer-gutenberg-images-2-horizontal-src d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/www.vmm.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/PLATFORM-Rondin-Copyright-Rondin-Vienna-Design-Week.jpg);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid d-block d-lg-none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vmm.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/PLATFORM-Rondin-Copyright-Rondin-Vienna-Design-Week.jpg\">\n\t\t<\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"container customer-gutenberg-textblock \" id=\"customer-gutenberg-block_00cd8d6e46b7a2423890407c55e56c60\">\n\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col col-lg-7 offset-lg-2\">\n\t\t\t<p>The full programme of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viennadesignweek.at\/programm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The VIENNA DESIGN WEEK shows just how diverse and vibrant Vienna&#8217;s design scene has become after 20 years, and how design can shape urban life far beyond mere products.
