The London studio’s designs for Max & Benito aim to evoke a coastal road trip

Studio Alt Shift’s task was to bring character and a personal touch to an empty space. They did this through taking a narrative that relates to Max & Benito’s Californian-style Mexican cuisine – a road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway – and imbuing the space with this sunny, west coast aesthetic and populating it with souvenir-like objects.

Austria Center Vienna s 113,000 rapid antigen tests over festive season could help provide entry ticket for future events
Since December, the Austria Center Vienna has been supporting the City of Vienna by hosting the nation’s largest coronavirus testing facility. The experience gained could lead to ‘the entry ticket for events’, according to the convention centre’s managing director.
In the two weeks in the run-up to Christmas and New Year, around 113,000 rapid tests were conducted at the venue. Heavy demand meant an increase in the number of testing lanes (including walk-in and drive-in), with up to 20 now available.
Austria’s largest congress centre is hoping that the system will provide palpable relief for the ailing event industry this year.
