Vienna, renowned as the birthplace of numerous artistic and intellectual movements, hosts one of the most dynamic design festivals in the world, characterised by an ever-roving epicentre – Vienna Design Week’s headquarters. ‘We're a nomadic festival, so we travel through the city,’ explains the annual spectacle’s director, Gabriel Roland during this year's event (20 – 29 September 2024). Traditionally, Vienna Design Week has established its headquarters in various pre-existing buildings across the city. However, 2024 marks a pivotal moment in the festival's nearly two-decade history, as it temporarily inhabits a newly constructed project for the first time.
