A World Furniture Show, Vienna

1988

An exhibition at Prodomo

Timeline

Peter Teichgräber ran the Prodomo furniture shop in Vienna. He invited Jasper to present an exhibition. The exhibition was promoted with the same room sketch as had been used for the exhibition in Cologne earlier in the year, but the exhibition itself was quite different. Jasper showed his World Slide Show here for the first time to a general audience, referred to in the catalogue as ‘A small enzyklopedia of great works’.

Rolf Fehlbaum, who had already bought a Wing-Nut Chair from Jasper, saw the show and wrote a letter to say so: ‘I saw and enjoyed your Vienna exhibit. I was also very intrigued by your slide show.’ Jasper began working with Vitra in the following year.
