Guest Country Poland

The guest country of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK 2018 is Poland, a country with an extremely active design scene, celebrating its 100th anniversary of the restoration of state independence this year. In addition to young Polish design across all festival formats, the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK with the support of the Adam Mickiewicz Institute is showing the exhibition "The ABCs of Polish Design."

In cooperation with the Polish Institute Vienna, however, the exhibition SYMBOL TO LOGO highlights the little-known history of logo design in communist Poland - a visual history that reflects both contemporary Polish history and the social changes that have taken place in the last 70 years.

We thank our cooperation partner, the Adam Mickiewicz Institute Warsaw for the support.
