Austria’s design scene is interdisciplinary and multifaceted. Austrian companies are also expert partners for interior design. They create the first pictorial representations of the concept, take care of blueprint planning and advise you on the choice of materials.

Setting trends
Energy efficiency in building technology and for electrical appliances has been steadily gaining importance in recent years. Austrian companies operate as developers and suppliers of environmentally-friendly and efficient technologies and count among the best in the world. This is also seen in the optimisation of interior fittings for homes and businesses.
Using energy-saving technologies does not only contribute to reducing global climate change, in comparison to other technologies it also increases comfort at home and at work. Austrian companies in this industry operate within well-established networks and offer their expertise e.g. in the field of solar technology and geothermal energy provision for heating interiors.
Intelligent controls
One project of the future, advanced by Austrian companies and with good chances on the international markets, is the “Intelligent House”. The interactive control system operating all technical appliances in the house is not only more convenient and comfortable, it also contributes to saving energy and opens up new aesthetic possibilities for interior design.

- Furniture

An array of textiles
When it comes to textiles, Austria has a particularly rich tradition. Synergy between acclaimed design quality and customer orientation have made fabrics from Austria popular all over the world. The Backhausen company, founded in Vienna in 1849, today sells products to customers in 40 countries. Backhausen adheres to the design principle that styles must be individually tailored to the function of the interior space they will inhabit.
Austrian offices all over the world
The listed company Bene is one example of an internationally-successful producer of office furnishings from Austria. Every concept, product and service from Bene comes from a close cooperation between the world of work, company culture and the success of the company.
