100% DESIGN TOKYO
Spot on Wien featuring Wiesner-Hager's compod.
With SPOT ON WIEN - Flashing Austrian Design and Music, Austria presents itself with special focus on Vienna at this year's Tokyo Designers Week. As guest country at 100% Design Tokyo, Austria puts contemporary furniture and product design (e.g. Wiesner-Hager's compod), fashion, modern dance performances and electronic music into the spotlight and establishes itself as creative metropolis for a Japanese audience from 30th October to 3rd November.
Tradition and Modernity.
The stories told about Vienna are usually those of a magnificent past: the waltz, Schönbrunn, Sissi and the New Year's concert. People rhapsodising about the former imperial residence do not always realise that Vienna has far more to offer than that.
Without doubt Vienna shines with its imperial legacy, but at the same time it is a modern, creative city with ambitious and imaginative people. Alone or with joined forces in labels these people successfully implement their ideas, thus continuously filling Austria’s capital with fascinating new facets. More and more they venture across the borders of the country with considerable success. Now, celebrating 140 years of Austrian-Japanese relations, Austria has also sent Vienna’s creative scene as official ambassador with a comprehensive exhibition to the 100% Design Tokyo.
Vienna in Tokyo.
Within five days all that is creative will be shown: Product and furniture designers travel together with fashion designers, DJs and representatives of contemporary
dance to Tokyo, to present themselves under the heading SPOT ON WIEN - Flashing Austrian Design and Music.
