The catalogue is not a catalogue – it is a beautiful hardcover book. It showcases, in a printed version, contemporary Austria, with a special focus on the capital Vienna and what it has to offer these days. The book introduces you to design and culture: The most recent samples of Austrian product- and furniture design, the first time ever awarded “5 Faces of the Year” winners, fashion design and modern dance performance as well as a selection of the electronic music scene.
The catalogue is conceptualised in the style of the exhibition: Key Lights, Fill Lights and Back Lights - Spotlights on all the SPOT ON WIEN participants, beautiful images of the products and Vienna.
Sit back and browse through Wien!
