UTILITARIAN

GOODGOODs -- a line of utilitarian objects for the home – are produced by people 

with physical or mental disabilities. Organized by Austrian designers, nine studios 

conceived useful products and facilitated integrative workshops in which the objects were handcrafted; bottle openers, bags, pegging games, brushes, boxes, baskets, and cooking spoons demonstrate the producers’ skills and motivation.

URBANE

Established in Budapest, the internationally renowned WAMP (Wasárnapi Művész Piac) Design Markt will have a strong presence in Vienna this year. WAMP has become 

"A place of encounter for design, urbanity, and globetrotters!"

The Design Markt -- a showcase for more than 700 international designers-- is one of the best known premium events in Central Europe and has developed into the place-to-be for designers, creative people and trendsetters.
