Cape Town is the World Design Capital 2014, and Austria will be its guest there with the platform AustriaDesignNet: an occasion for exchange about design and innovation processes in different latitudes. “Südnovation”, an initiative of kulturen in bewegung (cultures in movement) from Vienna, has worked on a “living room” installation to show what the North can learn from the South in everyday life, for instance frugal innovation, upcycling, collective work processes, etc. The upcycling designer Heath Nash from Cape Town will transpose this collaborative dialogue into new products in a dynamic work-in-progress – e.g. he curated a selection of South African designs by courtesy of HABARI, a Vienna based concept store. Visitors also have the chance of joining in the action!
