In the Design Clinic, experts invite you to free consultation and diagnosis for acute aesthetic problems.
With a wealth of analog event formats, Design Month Graz 2022 is finally back after two years of pandemic with its old strength and a concentrated program. Organized and coordinated by Creative Industries Styria, this year’s Design Month is offering a platform for creative people for the 13th time to network and become visible.
This year’s motto can be traced back to an extremely topical topic: “Green Transition” is intended to focus on a completely new way of dealing with resources that the earth provides. “This focus is to be understood in line with the European ‘Green Deal’ and the ‘New European Bauhaus’ initiative. With exhibitions, workshops and events, Design Month Graz shows where the journey will take us,” says Eberhard Schrempf, Managing Director of Creative Industries Styria. The many exciting ideas that were developed in the course of this will now be presented in a dense program until June 12th.
Colorful diversity
The “Design Everyday” exhibition, for example, presents everyday objects from Austrian design studios that make our world better, more beautiful and simpler and whose design process was well thought-out at every step. Meanwhile, the “Design Clinic” opens its doors for free initial consultations in “design emergencies” and the “Design in the City” format brings extraordinary design activities to a total of 37 Graz shops. The “ZweckZwei – Shift Circular Design” exhibition, on the other hand, shows how the “ZweckZwei” initiative is rethinking the circular economy and giving industrial residues a second life.
In total, more than 100 different items on the program this year ensure a wealth of creativity that attracts onlookers from all over the world to Graz. “Creativity is a valuable prerequisite for economic success and means dynamism, vitality, innovation, design and much more for a city,” emphasizes City Councilor Günter Riegler.
