dwb reflects its internationality, regional dialogue, European unity and the influence of individual art forms on each other. The organisers’ express intention is to present the broad interpretation possibilities of design: by broadening the concept, they focus on the creative approach and innovation. In accordance with the practice of previous years, the presented works, projects, and objects combine the most diverse fields – design, contemporary jewellery, fine art, performing arts and music.
In addition to series-produced pieces, small-batch series of furniture and accessories, prototypes, and even experimental pieces, contemporary jewellery are included. What's more, visitors can also find one-off works, object / material experiments and artworks on the borderline between design and fine art. Many invited artists address current social and ecological issues such as sustainability or social responsibility.
