Success factor Design: About the relation between success and good design

Design is the element in the development process of products that has a lasting impact on success or failure. Design is not just an aesthetic discipline, but an economic criterion. The Hollenegg Design Talks explore ways and options for how companies can deal with design and how design can be integrated into existing corporate strategies. The focus is on the innovative and transformative power of design and its importance as a catalyst for successful product development.

Anyone who talks about design implies high quality, from conception to production. Design leaves nothing to chance – accordingly, the expectations, on the part of the companies and also on the part of the designers, are high. Design is also about permitting a permanent process of development and actively accompanying it. The things that can emerge, be adopted and discarded, are the center of an intensive experience exchange, which allows both sides to tell about requirements, tasks and solutions, products and potentials.

The Melangeset for Augarten & Lobmeyr Glas, designed by LUCY.D, shows how to reinterpret the Viennese tradition of serving a glass of water with your coffee. Due to a new cup shape and a small additional plate, the Alphabecher, a classic by Lobmeyr, now forms a three-part set. The Almwellness Hotel Pierer shows that people love modern timber constructions, especially in tourism. Over the past 10 years, in cooperation with the carpentry of Josef Goebel, almost all the rooms and sitting areas have been redesigned.

Hollenegger Design Talks | Conference
in cooperation with designaustria

The public space. Designed user interface or no-man’s-land?

Public spaces are adopting an increasingly important function in the cities: private living spaces become smaller and, above all, more expensive, which more and more drives people into public spaces in order to meet and stay there. Anyone who wants to do so without having to consume anything, often lacks an adequate and usable design of public spaces.

Even in rural areas, public spaces are redefining their function: Structural changes in the economy and society make former popular meeting places increasingly obsolete. Social life is shifting from churches and coffeehouses to gas stations and shopping malls. Areas, spaces and squares without an economic intention are in short supply.

Public space, however, has a much deeper dimension: in the broadest sense, it implies the entire public user interface and its significant features. This ranges from lighting to garbage cans, from navigation to urban furniture, from the overall traffic concept to the individual stops. Still, it is also a space for action and communication in terms of events and interventions from the fields of business, politics, society, art and culture.

Thus, the intelligent design of public space in the 21st century faces a number of challenges that directly affect the quality and perception of the public space: what should the future user interface be like in order to use urban and rural public spaces? How much interaction is reasonable for the users? What role does digitization play? What do objects need to ensure a high quality of stay? And how do you increase awareness of the value of well-designed public areas?

These questions were discussed by experts from different Austrian institutions.
