Q&A Session: „Colours at Work” - Biofabrique Vienna Challenge 2026
Ask your questions about the challenge!
Biofabrique Vienna and Vienna Design Week are launching a design competition as part of their joint format Urban Food & Design, focused on workwear. The pieces are intended to embody the mindset and practice of a new generation of designers who work with living systems, bio‑based materials, and regional value chains.
The use of the dyes produced within the Biofabrique Vienna must be at the core of the design. The challenge is both a creative task and a beta test of the “Wiener Farben” dye project under real‑world conditions.
We are looking for functional workwear that makes materiality visible and expresses the attitude of a new design practice—circular, research‑driven, and bio‑based.
The Biofabrique Vienna team will be available on Monday, 16 March 2026, at 3:00 pm for an online Q&A session to answer detailed questions. Registration is requested.
