Passionswege 2019 — Archiv 2019 — Vienna Design Week

Design connects. Especially in the case of the Passionswege. Ever since they were introduced, the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK has been connecting international and Austrian designers with Viennese production companies in the context of this curated format. In open work processes and free from the commercial constraints of conventional work relationships, desig ners and businesses experiment, create,and share their knowledge. The financialframework is established by the festival. Starting from two stations in the city center, the format makes its way into this year’s Focus District Alsergrund. The results of each cooperative venture – unexpected solutions, projects, objects, or installations – are shown directly on site in authentic Viennese workshops and business premi ses. Passionswege – this still means in its thirteenth year a format that highlights design and craft processes as the heart of the festival.

It’s a feast for the eyes, watching the swiftly rotating wood as it literally melts away under a skillfully operated lathe, leaving an elegantly rounded form behind.

TEEMU SALONEN with Glas Bauer

VIENNA DESIGN WEEK

27.9.–5.10.2019

Plastic palms, pastel lettuce leaves, a car radio, a greenish chunk of glass – the set pieces used by the Finnish designer Teemu Salonen in his works seem to come from the most remote nooks of everyday life.

VILLE KOKKONEN with J. & L. Lobmeyr

J. & L. Lobmeyr, Ville Kokkonen, VIENNA DESIGN WEEK

27.9.–5.10.2019
