This is surely also due to the programme\u2019s curator. Susanna Ahvonen, who studied Architecture in Helsinki and Graz, approaches this project in a calm, yet enthusiastic manner that is contagious.<\/p>\n<p>Her work for <em>Design in the City <\/em>is also a kind of annual remapping of the design city Graz. In the past few years the local design scene has been bustling. For this reasons almost half of the participating studios, workshops and stores take part for the fi rst time each year. The consistent participant limit acts as an additional incentive for participants to develop playfully off beat concepts in addition to their regular programmes.<\/p>\n<p>Barbara St\u00f6lzl, for example, designs unique lampshades for her label <em>milli lux<\/em>, and has started the campaign \u201cshirt rescue\u201c, in which discarded shirts are converted into lamp shades that are really one of a kind (<em>milli lux,<\/em> Mandellstrasse 4). In her store <em>Lieblingsplatz<\/em> Sabine Tiefenbrunner sells unique underwear that she imprints with erotic cartoons according to customers\u2019 wishes, under the slogan \u201cExpression of yourself\u201c (Sporgasse 23). And Arno K\u00f6rbler and Stefan Krar from <em>Crazy Home Town <\/em>present clothes made out of paper (Paulustorgasse 3). We hope that they\u2019re waterproof too.<\/p>\n<p>Of course such a lively scene also attracts international trend and idea scouts. This is why it seems only natural that the Red Bull group has chosen to establish itself in the City of Design. Red Bull has opened its own <em>Alpha Tauri Store <\/em>(sic) in Graz and follows the creative minds in Graz by creating an event for the <em>Designmonat Graz <\/em>that centres on technology and fashion. Red Bull\u2019s notoriously apolitical ideology, however, contrasts with that of many Graz-based designers, who also support political and social issues, and who will presumably not let themselves be engrossed or their ideologies be re-shaped easily by this newcomer.<\/p>\n<p>Blogger and designer Kathrin Jummer, for example, is the owner of the \u2013 in her own words \u2013 offline shop <em>himmelgrau <\/em>based in Feuerbachgasse (Graz). She compares her business to a boat in which one can unwind while working on the side, so to say. Work there mostly takes place in a community. For <em>Design in the City <\/em>Kathrin Jummer has invited the Graz-based startup company <em>\u201cWolke Neun\u201d<\/em>, who in turn invite to a \u201cBaby Shower Launch Party\u201c. Which new ideas will be born there?<\/p>\n<pre><strong>INFO\r\nDesignmonat Graz 2017<\/strong>\r\n29.04. \u2013 28.05.2017\r\nwww.designmonat.at\r\n\r\n<strong>SELECTED 2017<\/strong>\r\n29.04. \u2013 28.05.2017\r\nNaturkundemuseum, Joanneumsviertel\r\n\r\n<strong>Klanglicht<\/strong>\r\n29.04. \u2013 30.04.2017, abends\r\nSchauspielhaus Graz, Oper Graz,\r\nNext Liberty, Dom im Berg, Stadtpark\r\n\r\n<strong>CITY-OF-DESIGN-Rundg\u00e4nge<\/strong>\r\nN\u00e4chste Termine: 22.04., 20.05.,\r\n17.06.2017 jeweils 11.00\r\nN\u00e4here Infos: www.grazguides.at<\/pre>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>29.04. \u2013 28.05.2017; Graz.
