SUMMARY:Design Month Graz // Design Everyday
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition DESIGN EVERYDAY shows outstandingly designed everyday objects from the Austrian design scene.\n  \nInitiated and curated by Vandasye \nAs a creative service\, product design is more than mere shaping. The development and design of objects for everyday use shapes our relationship with our environment and thus our culture of life. \nDesign is something everyday\, both in terms of its use and its availability. It influences the relationship of the individual to his surroundings and environment. Useful\, responsibly designed and sustainably produced everyday objects are therefore becoming all the more important as the boundaries between the real and virtual worlds become increasingly blurred. \nWhile it is becoming increasingly difficult to identify those qualities that lend validity to good design in an unmanageable world of goods\, the Design Everyday format provides insights into the regular activities of Austrian design studios. \nThe selection focuses on furniture and products of everyday life that contribute to the further development of contemporary design in Austria and beyond. \nIn its entirety\, the format represents an open\, growing collection: without any claim to completeness but with the perspective of offering Austrian product designers a platform with international reach in the future. The aim of the initiative is to stimulate discourse and cooperation between design creators\, theorists and manufacturers in order to strengthen mutual exchange and promote joint collaborations. \nDesign Everyday is an ongoing project curated by Vandasye\, which has been shown annually since 2017 as part of Vienna Design Week and is accompanied and supported by the latter. \n

SUMMARY:Design Month Graz // ZweckZwei – Shift Circular Design
DESCRIPTION:From residual material to raw material. As part of the ZweckZwei-DesignCamp in spring 2022\, eleven designers worked on giving industrial residual materials a second life in the sense of circular design. The exhibition shows the transformation process that took place and the resulting prototypes developed by the designers.\nThe production of consumer goods constantly produces residual materials. Many companies have neither the ideas nor the means to process these recyclable materials in a meaningful way. As a result\, vast amounts of resources are wasted every day. In order to counteract this and to transform residual materials into raw materials\, the ZweckZwei-principle was brought to life. ZweckZwei rethinks the circular economy and transforms recurring residual materials from trade and industry into marketable products. These are manufactured by socio-economic enterprises in the region. More than 20 local industrial companies already supply their industrial residues to ZweckZwei\, including Niceshops\, A&R-Karton\, BT Watzke\, Wollsdorf Leder\, Ringana\, Vossen and Zotter. The goal is to intercept residual materials from industry before they are disposed of or undergo a costly recycling process. Awning remnants\, twist locks\, welding wire spools\, aluminum reflectors and cardboard tubes can thus become starting material for new products – with minimal use of additional resources. \n  \n“For industrial companies\, waste and scrap materials are just trash\, but for us they are treasure – and source material for marketable products with minimal climate impact”\, says Karl Steinwender\, initiator of ZweckZwei. \n  \nIn spring 2022\, the ZweckZwei-DesignCamp was organized by ZweckZwei\, Creative Industries Styria and the SelfSightSeeing Company. The goal was to develop prototypes for sustainable and high-quality products. Eleven designers – including the curators Io Tondolo and Itshe Petz (SelfSightSeeing Company) – from different fields worked together on new products for one weekend. After the experts from fields such as industrial design\, fashion design and interior design were introduced to the materials and technical possibilities\, they moved on to brainstorming and prototyping. \n  \n“This camp was just the beginning! It allows us to show what is possible in this field – first and foremost\, the development of high-quality products from residual materials that are not in the classic eco-niche”\, emphasize Itshe Petz and Io Tondolo. \n  \nThe exhibition shows the transformation process “From Trash to Treasure” – in the spirit of the circular economy\, the New European Bauhaus and a Green Transition – and the resulting prototypes – from acoustic panels to drawer handles and design elements to sun hats and lamps.

SUMMARY:Design Month Graz 2022
DESCRIPTION:Design Month Graz gives insights into various creative disciplines and points of contact to the most diverse designers. Events such as exhibitions\, workshops or lectures invite you to network in the UNESCO City of Design Graz. \nDesign Month Graz bundles and condenses the energy of the local creative industries within one month\, makes it visible to the outside world and thus makes a central contribution to anchoring the creative industries in people’s consciousness. It provides a space for innovative projects – be it experimental or commercial – and thus heightens the perception of the meaning of design: it is not about purely decorative behaviors (design as styling)\, but about the economic relevance (design as development and value added process) as well as the transformational power of design in economy and society. \nNumerous local partners are also involved in Design Month Graz. The term “design month” acts as an umbrella brand and assembles the individual activities under one uniform appearance\, without jeopardizing their independence. The Creative Industries Styria coordinates and organises the Design Month Graz and spans a substantive and programmatic range from a variety of individual initiatives from designers to the large local design training institutions\, thereby enabling synergies and cooperation between the creative industries and “classic” companies. \nFrom May 7th to June 12th 2022\, a dense and diverse program will be presented in the Austrian UNESCO City of Design. Exhibitions\, lectures\, workshops\, presentations and guided tours bring the value and meaning of design to the public. It puts the city in a state of exception in which design can be perceived everywhere. \nDesign Month Graz 2022 focuses its program on the topic Green Transition. \n  \nFURTHER INFORMATION \nwww.designmonat.at \n

SUMMARY:Design Month Graz // The Chairman
DESCRIPTION:In the exhibition “The Chairman” at the designforum Steiermark\, the designer and architect Martin Mostböck shows how he approaches the challenge of an armchair design\, which is considered the supreme discipline in design.\nThe architect and designer Martin Mostböck designs furniture\, houses\, interiors\, everyday objects and is a border crosser between disciplines. In the exhibition “The Chairman” at the designforum Steiermark\, Mostböck shows designs that were created in the last two decades. On display are armchairs and furniture that stand in the field of tension between art and serial product. Among other things\, excellent museum pieces will be presented. But small series and serial products of individual pieces can also be studied in the show. In this way\, it is possible to trace the wide world between experiment\, craft\, industry and sustainable design. The exhibition shows how connections between different areas are entangled and flow into the design process. Mostböck thereby attempts to make these invisible connections visible. \nIn the case of his well-known Flaxx Chair\, which is published by Moroso\, the initial idea was simply to design a four-legged cantilever chair. A Ducati racing bike inspired Mostböck to connect the chair’s legs. He copied the welded-together legs of the furniture from the rear swing arm of this motorcycle and transformed them into his functional and formal language. Again and again\, he also emphasizes the importance of the personal relationship with the producers of his pieces\, from the craftsman to the executive. Mostböck also emphasizes the regional and sustainable aspect of his work. So the chair produced by Braun Lockenhaus\, extremely elegant and with nimble details\, which Mostböck designed for the restaurant of top chef Konstantin Filippou\, is not to be missed. \n \n\nF U R T H E R   I N F O R M A T I O N \nclick here

SUMMARY:Design Month Graz // Around Autofiction
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition shows a snapshot of the activities and initiatives of UNESCO Cities of Design around the future topic of mobility.\nDetroit\, Geelong\, Graz\, Kortrijk\, Puebla\, Saint-Étienne and Turin are all members of the UNESCO Creative Cities of Design Network and at the same time big names in the automotive industry. Now these cities have come together to share their experiences and visions of the mobility of the future. While individuals’ desire for mobility continues to grow (the number of cars worldwide passed the 1.2 billion mark in 2020)\, profound efforts to change our consumption patterns\, our use of resources\, and our political and social positions can be found everywhere. \nAround Autofiction is a traveling exhibition enriched by workshops with partner cities\, providing an overview of a wide variety of mobility projects being implemented in UNESCO Creative Cities of Design. It shows a snapshot of the respective activities and initiatives and always focuses on innovative concepts to be rethought in the field of tension between social\, ecological and economic issues. \nThese inspiring projects paint a portrait of research by designers and companies in the UNESCO Creative Cities of Design and underscore the cross-cutting nature of the questions surrounding the mobility of the future and all that is at stake. The range presented follows the pace of a changing industry and reveals the global nature of the mobility issue. Mobility is a social\, political and environmental problem that also affects regions and communities and their specificities. This panorama of mobility is accompanied by objects and videos that support the work of designers\, companies\, researchers\, students and users on the mobility of the future. \n

SUMMARY:Grand Opening
DESCRIPTION:From May 7 to June 12\, 2022\, the UNESCO City of Design Graz is once again hosting the Design Month Graz. This annual design festival highlights a wide range of design disciplines with a dense and multi-facetted event program. For a whole month\, the city will set the stage for exhibitions\, workshops\, meetings\, presentations and a multitude of individual initiatives by designers\, local design training institutions and universities as well as business enterprises. \nThe focus of the program is on “Green Transition\,” a Europe-wide transformation process in which the creative sector plays a key role. Thanks to the sector’s claim to innovation\, it is able to support and fill the European growth and development strategy “Green Deal” with specific content. This requires a joint effort from everyone – quite in the spirit of the interdisciplinary initiative “New European Bauhaus\,” which seeks sustainable solutions and accompanying strategies to manage the transformation. The program focus on “Green Transition” offers a platform for contributions and solutions from the creative sector\, also addressing the transformation and revolutionary processes that will lead towards a sustainable future. In that context\, the role of design is also undergoing change: the individual will take a back seat in favor of the community\, and “Society Centered Design” will increasingly replace “Human Centered Design.” \nOrganized and coordinated by the Creative Industries Styria network\, the Design Month Graz offers a platform for socializing and making oneself visible\, while also emphasizing the importance of design for everyday life and the economic relevance of creative processes as a key to mastering future challenges. \n \n\nDesign Month Graz has some long-standing media partners\, from online and print magazines in Austria and Portugal to Italy and the UK. Here is an overview and brief information about the individual blogs\, radios and publications. \nF u r t h e r   I n f o r m a t i o n : \nc l i c k   h e r e

SUMMARY:Human Cities‐SMOTIES
DESCRIPTION:Human Cities‐SMOTIES : creative works with small and remote places is a four-year European project (2020 – 2024) supported by the European Commission under the Creative Europe programme. \nHuman Cities is a multidisciplinary European network that was founded in 2006\, and has evolved over the course of themes\, contents\, partners and leaders. Human Cities – SMOTIES is the continuation of the Human \nCities_Challenging the City Scale project (2014-2018)\, for which the Cité du design was the lead partner and which examined the role of inhabitants in the co-creation of the contemporary city to improve the habitability of public spaces. \nThis new Human Cities – SMOTIES project is led by the Politecnico di Milano\, who will examine\, together with the ten European partners (including the Cité du design)\, the creativity in small and remote places. These places are depositories of material and immaterial culture at risk to be undervalued\, not consolidtaed or handed down\, and hence lost. Through a shared methodology that will ensure the involvement of local communities through co-creation\, masterclasses and prototyping studios\, these remote territories will benefit from the production of cultural and creative works in public spaces\, carried out with the ten partners identified in this project as nodes of creativity. These are public institutions\, design centres\, creative agencies\, national associations\, research centres or university design departments\, located in ten European cities: \nMilan\, Italy\, Politecnico di Milano\, Design Department\nSaint-Étienne\, France\, Cité du design ‐ École Supérieure d’Art et de Design\nGraz\, Austria\, FH Joanneum\, University of Applied Sciences\, Institute of Design & Communication\,\nErmoupoli\, Greece\, University of the Aegean\, Department of Product and Systems Design Engineering\,\nLjubljana\, Slovenia\, Urban Planning Institute of the Republic of Slovenia\nLondon\, UK\, Clear Village Trustee Limited\nTallinn\, Estonia\, Estonian Association of Designers\nCieszyn\, Poland\, Zamek CieszynFunchal\,\nFunchal\, Portugal\, Universidade da Madeira\, Art & Design \n  \nREGISTRATION\nclick here\n\n\n \n\n  \n\n\nC O N T A C T \nInge Eller\nProject Officer\nHuman Cities‐SMOTIES Cité du design-Esadse\ninge.eller@citedudesign.com\n+33 6 22 56 89 34 \n

SUMMARY:Fourth Wuhan Creative Cities Roundtable Conference
DESCRIPTION:As part of the activities for the Wuhan Design Day 2021 & Sixth Wuhan Design Biennale (01-12 November 2021)\, the Wuhan Creative Cities Roundtable Conference will celebrate its fourth edition. The conference will be moderated by Former ICoD President\, David Grossman. The sessions around the topic ‘developing infrastructure for the creative industries’ will be open to observers. The Conference will have a hybrid format\, with international cities attending on-line and Chinese domestic cities joining on-site. The event will take place in three parts: presentations by invited Creative Cities\, three moderated panels and a roundtable discussion. To promote effective on-line participation and in-depth discussion\, 15 keynote speakers have been invited representing various creative disciplines from nine (9) Chinese cities and five (5) creative cities from adjacent time zones\, for the one and a half days’ discussion. \nTOPICS \nDefining the Creative Industries: What does it mean to be a “creative industry”? The word “creative” means different things to different audiences and in different languages. There are important implications to the different meanings and it is the responsibility of the creative professional communities themselves to make sure that what they do is properly understood and conveyed – by the professionals themselves and by government\, industry and the public. \nImportance of Professionalism in Creative Disciplines: Too often\, practitioners in the creative disciplines are surrounded by a mystique that makes it difficult for others to understand what it is they do\, and how they do it. In fact\, this often diminishes our influence and status\, putting us at a disadvantage when compared to other professionals. It is important for creative communities to adopt features of other professional communities in terms of language rigor\, standards of practice\, codes of ethics\, life-long learning\, and especially\, concepts of social and community responsibility\, to ensure maximum contribution to society. \nSoft Infrastructure of Creative Industries: Like any other industry\, the creative industries require a supportive infrastructure\, provided by government and society. Unlike the infrastructure of traditional industries which are usually “hard” (consisting of investment in physical infrastructures of steel\, concrete\, energy and technologies)\, the infrastructures of the creative industries are “soft”\, consisting of the training of young practitioners\, ensuring opportunities to gain experience\, and conditions that support professional community cohesion (internal and external formats for exchange and communications\, formats for the development of shared standards and codes of ethics\, mechanisms for promotion\, etc.). What are the special features of a “soft” infrastructure and how can this be best achieved? \nThose interested in registering for this event can do so here until 30 October 2021. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Cindy Lee (wuhan_design@yeah.net) \n\nFurther information: \n\nRegistration\nAgenda\nList of Speakers\nDescription of Concept\nGuidelines for Online Observers

SUMMARY:TORINO DESIGN OF THE CITY 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Torino Design Weeks will be back from mid-September to the end of October with a calendar full of events\, currently being defined. The project will see the involvement of local stakeholders who are in charge of promoting design\, culture and creativity\, alongside experts and guests from the international networks created by the City Council. \n\nSNEAK PEEKS\n\n\n The scheduled events include the Torino stage of the international Automotive Project workshop (16 and 17 October)\, simultaneously with the European Mobility Lab and the Torino Mobility Living Lab\, with the participation of representatives of the cities of Graz\, Kortrijk\, Detroit\, Nagoya\, Geelong and Saint- Étienne. A project in collaboration with the Mobility Area and the Sustainable City Lab of the Educational Area\, the Polytechnic of Milan and other institutions. \n\n\n Strategies and actions for the supply chain: an open meeting for the main players of the Turin design supply chain – companies\, firms\, professionals and trainers – gathered for an experience of mutual listening\, exchange of ideas and sharing of perspectives. \n\n\n National appointments organised by the City of Torino such as the Italian UNESCO Creative Cities meeting and an event organised together with the cities of Biella and Alba as part of the Arcipelago Festival. \n\n\n The fifth edition of Utopian Hours\, “The 1\,000-minute city (The city is everywhere)”\, taking place from 8 to 10 October\, is the first international city-making festival in Italy curated by Torino Stratosferica. \n\n\n Graphic Days® will be back in September with “Touch!”\, an exhibition focusing on the reconnection between the senses in visual communication. \n\n\n More online and offline appointments with the Circolo del Design will take place\, inspired by the Humanising technology topic. The humanisation of technology is the great challenge that technological progress is facing from an ethical\, economic\, social and environmental point of view: how can design contribute to it? \n\n\nLast but not least – exhibitions\, meetings\, shows\, workshops\, events\, tours and itineraries created with the members of the Design Table. \n\nC O N T A C T \nCora Fiorenza  \nF U R T H E R   I N F O R M A T I O N \nclick here \n
