Kammerspiel

This September saw the launch of Bodo Sperlein’s focused solo exhibition; Kammerspiel. Located in the heart of Vienna, the exhibition was organised by the design-focused Gallery Zippenfenig and took place in a historic vaulted space at the exclusive Member Club Am Hof 8. Curated by the designer himself, the show featured a selection of his current and iconic works: furniture, lighting, wall installations, rugs, and silverware.

Gallery Zippenfenig is Vienna’s first gallery dedicated exclusively to contemporary design in an international context. It represents creators working at the intersection of applied art, product, and spatial design, whose works emerge in limited editions or as unique pieces. Kammerspiel marks the gallery’s first collaboration with Bodo Sperlein, signalling a renewed presence of auteur design in Vienna’s cultural landscape.

Kammerspiel unfolded as an atmospheric spatial composition where each object is part of a thoughtfully orchestrated whole. Sperlein masterfully weaves light, material, form, and space into a dense dialogue. Intimate in scale, the exhibition invites contemplative engagement with sculptural design at the highest level of craftsmanship.
