Vienna Design Week 2025 once again transformed Vienna into a vibrant center for design and innovation from September 26 to October 5, 2025. With 200 events at over 50 locations, the festival showcased a broad spectrum of design and craftsmanship and offered numerous opportunities for exchange, inspiration and networking.
The festival headquarters in a former car dealership became a vibrant meeting place for the scene. A special highlight was the fast mentoring session for young designers, in which experts provided valuable input in short, intensive discussions. Industry expert Henning Berthold from Bayern Innovativ GmbH's Creative Industries Innovation Network was also on hand to provide valuable networking and development opportunities.
Under the motto "From Doubt to Form", Vienna Design Week demonstrated how design combines social issues and sustainability. Projects such as Biofabrique Vienna, which is rethinking the textile circular economy, or Stadtholz, which develops sustainable street furniture using local wood, clearly demonstrated how innovative and future-oriented design can be.
Vienna Design Week thus remains a central meeting point for the cultural and creative industries - a place for inspiration, exchange and new perspectives in design and crafts.
