The fascinating world of Dagobert Peche: Art that inspires!

In the new exhibition "Peche Pop. Dagobert Peche and his traces in the present" in Mak Vienna The fascinating work by the designer Dagobert Peche can be experienced. From December 11th to May 11th, 2025, this presentation offers insights into Peche's innovative style, which revolutionized the formal language of the Vienna workshop. General Director Lilli Hollein described Peche as a creative spirit that impressed with "urge to design" and tireless will. In his work, he draws inspiration from nature and left a lasting impression with his opulent designs.

Visitors can explore the exhibition thematically, which is divided into seven chapters. A highlight is the Rococo armchair, which was shown in the boudoir of a fashion show in 1915. The impressive exhibition architecture is reminiscent of a palace and invites you to discover the unique rooms and their fascinating stories. Peche's work, which impresses with diversity and even makes materials such as wood and sheet metal appear in a new light, also shows his creative examination of opposites and transformations. In addition, an extensive publication with further information about his life and work has been published, available in Mak Design Shop At the price of € 55.
