On 24 September 2024, the MAK Design Nite, the annual highlight of the MAK's cooperation with the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK, will be dedicated to the exhibition AUT NOW. 100 × Austrian Design for the 21st Century, which presents 100 examples of particularly remarkable and innovative Austrian product design in the new millennium.
 
To kick off the evening, Lilli Hollein (General Director of the MAK), Gregor Eichinger (architect and curator of the pioneering mobile exhibition DESIGN NOW.AUSTRIA, 1998/2005), Gabriel Roland (Director of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK) and Martina Fineder (Professor of Design Theory and Design Research UWID) will take a look back at the achievements of Austrian design over the past 25 years and look ahead to the future of Austrian design in a panel discussion.
 
Afterwards, the MAK invites you to music and drinks, a DJ set by y(MAK) and Patrick Rampelotto, an open screen printing workshop and, of course, a visit to the exhibition AUT NOW, which opens on 17 September 2024 at 7 pm and is shown as a project of the MAK as part of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK.
