Exhibitions, installations, workshops, talks and a public design laboratory will create a melting pot for an international design exchange as well as a baroquish festival celebrating Vienna's charm between tradition, avant-garde and the latest vogue.

Peugeot's showroom in the center of Berlin is hosting a back-to-the-future exhibition of their newest space-age inspired cars, if one can call them that.
