The city of Graz is divided into two parts by the river Mur. As a sign of overcoming this cultural separation, an island made of glass and steel was built in the river according to the designs of the New York designer and artist Vito Acconci for the European Capital of Culture 2003.
This spectacular architecture is now seen as the hub, hotspot and the showroom of the Graz design scene. The island invites you to discover extraordinary products from domestic creative industry and to embrace the different facets of the great theme of design.
