Vienna Design Week

GUEST WDC 2026

WDC 2026 is GUEST at the Vienna Design Week 2025!

 "Frankfurt RheinMain has been named World Design Capital 2026 – an internationally visible recognition of how design can contribute to a future worth living, far beyond questions of aesthetics. Around 2,000 events in 2026 will show, both across the Frankfurt RheinMain region and internationally, how diverse and democratic design can be in all areas of life – from participatory urban projects to expert conferences and inspiring formats for public debate, as well as vibrant street festivals and other highlights all centred on design." — Barbara Lersch, Programme Director, World Design Capital 2026

Our programme:

The WDC stand, designed by studio formagora – one of our WDC projects – is located right in the heart of the festival hub.
Here you’ll find talks, workshops, a reading corner and other WDC projects from the Frankfurt RheinMain region. They showcase how design can strengthen our communities and democracy – with interactive activities to try out and think further!

We’re also bringing a piece of the region: the Offenbach Archive by studio pari-pari with their project STADTSTEMPEL. Come by, join in and discuss with us at our Drinks for Democracy format.
