September is arguably the most beautiful time in Vienna: the summer heat fades into pleasant warmth, perfect for strolling and discovering the city’s vibrant design scene. Throughout Vienna and beyond, storefronts glow with the signature yellow of the Design District – an open invitation to design lovers.

Autumn’s design season is all about experience. It’s not just about admiring displays but stepping inside, exploring, and enjoying design in a relaxed atmosphere. Wherever you spot the yellow branding, you’ll find free tickets to the fair and the Design Guide – your curated companion to Vienna’s design world, including previews of Hofburg exhibitors and local design gems.

From October 3–5, the grand finale takes place: the Living & Lifestyle exhibition at the Vienna Hofburg. Over 250 national and international brands present their latest in design, interiors, real estate, automotive, tech, and lifestyle across 7,500 square meters. Visitors are encouraged to interact with the exhibits – sit on sofas, test features – because design is meant to be lived.

Design also takes to the streets: red carpet installations at Volkstheater and Karlsplatz/Oper stations spotlight emerging artists. Sustainability plays a key role, too, with a focus on circular design, eco-friendly materials, and upcycling innovation.

In the elegant Radetzky Apartments, the Fashion & Accessories showcase celebrates craftsmanship with pieces that enrich everyday life – from bags and jewelry to textiles and lighting. Meanwhile, the Marble Hall of the Hofburg gives Austrian goldsmiths and ateliers a platform for classic and bold creations.

And for those who love horsepower: premium auto partners offer free test drives in front of the Hofburg – bookable online.

Vienna’s Design District is your invitation to see, feel, and live design.
