Vienna’s Center for Design Dialogue and Exchange

Design is everywhere - in the objects we use, the spaces we enter and the systems that shape our everyday lives. At the designforum Vienna, this world is brought to life. Here, we experience that design is more than aesthetics: it is a driver of innovation, creativity and new ideas.

At designforum Vienna, designers connect and exchange ideas on how creative concepts are transformed into tangible solutions. Special focus is placed on communicating the value of design as a driver of innovation and business growth.

designforum Vienna develops an interdisciplinary program in close collaboration with the designforums in Dornbirn and Innsbruck. Through lectures, exhibitions, workshops, panel discussions, networking events and publications, designforum Vienna offers a multidisciplinary program for a wide audience.

Founded in 2005 by designaustria, the professional association for designers in Austria, designforum Vienna, has been led by Elli Schindler since 2026.
