At the Vienna Design Week 2010, www.radostar.com presents a competition for young talent, where the winner will be awarded the Rado Young Design Prize 2011. The starting flag will wave for an artist from radostar.com, selected by Neigungsgruppe Design, with a collaborative effort with designers For Use/Numen in the Vienna Rado store.



Vienna Design Week is not like a trade show in character; rather, it covers a variety of locations and gateways specific to Vienna. In cooperation with a wide range of partners – from the Viennese museums, to manufacturers and commercial enterprises, to designers from around the world – the entire city of Vienna becomes a platform and showcase for design for ten days. International, but local – that’s the motto.

Not only “products” of design are on display; the creative and production processes are also shared and on-site experimental work is encouraged.

With exhibitions, localized installations, special themes, discussion venues, a film program, and plenty of opportunity for celebrating and networking, the Vienna Design Week is not only a center of attraction for the international design scene, but also explicitly for the general public of Viennese and visitors.

At the VDW 2009, the young designer Gabriela Chiccerio from the www.radostar.com community had the opportunity to exchange ideas with other international designers, and present her work to the media. Now, at Vienna Design Week 2010, another “young talent” will be given the opportunity to collaborate with For Use/Numen at the Vienna Rado store. This is the starting flag for a competition for young talent. Over the next few months, young creative people will be selected at www.radostar.com, and can implement their projects at the Vienna Rado store. After one year, the most innovative and visionary project will be awarded the Rado Young Design Prize 2011.
