The central concern of the new Designsafari format is the exploration of upcoming design scenes outside Austria. It was developed in cooperation between the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK and the series “sundays” by Architekturzentrums Wien.

The lively journey leads to particular examples of the latest interior conversions in Vienna’s neighbouring city Bratislava. As a prelude there is a lecture in the appealing premises of the Design Factory giving an insight into the aspiring Slovakian design scene.
