VIE:
Vienna Design Week 2025 - Where Imperial Elegance Collides With Avant-Garde Genius

As summer's last heat lingers on the cobblestones, Vienna's creative minds emerge from their ateliers for the 18th Vienna Design Week (September 5-15, 2025). For eleven dizzying days, the city that gave us Klimt and Loos becomes a living laboratory where Baroque palaces host augmented reality installations and traditional coffee houses serve drinks in 3D-printed porcelain.

2025's Theme: "Habsburg Futurism"

This year's festival reimagines imperial heritage through tomorrow's lens:

  • The Hofburg Hack – Digital artists transform palace interiors with projection mapping that makes ceilings "drip" gold
  • Sacher-Torte 2.0 – Molecular gastronomy meets pastry tradition at Demel's pop-up lab
  • Wiener Werkstätte Reloaded – Modern craftsmen reinvent early 20th-century designs using A.I. tools
  • New District Focus – Ottakring's breweries become immersive design spaces
