Schloss Hollenegg - tour and live interview | Virtual Design Festival | Dezeen

Today VDF teams up with Schloss Hollenegg for a tour of the historic castle in Austria and live interview with curator Alice Stori Liechtenstein.

The castle, which dates back to 1163, is home to Schloss Hollenegg for Design, a cultural programme established by Stori Liechtenstein in 2015.

Last week saw the opening of Walden, an exhibition exploring our relationship with the wilder side of the natural world, which features works by 22 designers.

On the tour, which will be streamed above as well as on Dezeen's Facebook page, Stori Liechtenstein will discuss the pieces, which are dotted around the castle and its grounds, as well as recounting the history of her home.

"Many of the projects in the exhibition are about self-sufficiency and about finding a new approach to doing, making, living," said Stori Liechtenstein, who commissioned many of the works for the Walden exhibition.

"It is the time to bring nature back in our everyday life; not the romanticised, sanitised, domesticated version of it, but the gritty, wild stuff. The current narrative around the environmental crisis offers conflicting and confusing information, it has been wrongly politicised, and often induces guilt without offering solutions."

"This makes accepting that our lifestyles need to be dramatically transformed, a painful process: we procrastinate, waiting for a miracle cure," she added.
