Their joint interest and goals brought together Tulga Beyerle, Thomas Geisler and Lilli Hollein to found the Neigungsgruppe Design in 2006 as an independent initiative to define the perception of design in Austria more precisely, to stimulate discourse and examination of this theme, to illustrate the position held by design in the field of tension between culture and business, all in all to convey and spread their passion for design. After their first presentation of the Passionswege in 2006, the three curators developed a common roof for the active Viennese design scene by setting up the Vienna Design Week. The success of this festival is an explicit sign of the quality of design and the level of design enthusiasm in Vienna and underlines the credo of the Neigungsgruppe Design, that one can discuss and mediate design in different ways and inspire the public at the same time. > hide. |
