Talk: Passionswege. Design meets Crafts

Design connects, particularly in the case of “Passionswege”, a popular festival format at the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK which brings together design & crafts. Ever since this format was introduced to the Vienna Design Week, it has been connecting designers with craftsmen. In open work processes and free from any commercial constraints, they jointly create unique objects by experimenting and sharing their know-how. Curious to know more? We cordially invite you to join Gabriel Roland’s talk about this fascinating festival format.

His talk will be followed by a Q&A and a panel discussion with the Egyptian design team of the Qijmas Collection.

The latter is a design collection that was inspired by the architecture and the decorative patterns of the Mamluk Mosque of Qijmas al-Ishaqi, creating new objects using wood inlay and carving, ceramics, metal and textile.

This event is a cooperation with the Egyptian Heritage Rescue Foundation. Small refreshments & snacks will be served.

Venue: Bayt Al-Razzaz, (no parking availabilities)

Date & time: Saturday, 29th Jan, 3:30pm – 6pm Free Entry
