Vienna Design Week returned for the eighth successive year, this year setting up shop in the grand Schwarzenberg Palace in the heart of the city. Apart from being blown away (as always) by the spectacular architecture of Austrian capital, we were delighted to see the return of the legendary ‘Passionswege’ program—a platform in which up-and-coming international designers collaborate with local manufacturers and craftspeople from Vienna. Other highlights include an array of impressive upcycling at the Recycling Design Prize exhibition and a NikeID-like system for cakes that keeps customized decoration classy.
