The bespoke shirt makers Wäscheflott have been in the business since 1948. This small shop behind the opera, full of perfectly starched showpieces, fabric sample books, and pictures of prominent clients – sewing is done in a workshop in Vienna’s fourth district – will be the setting for a lovely installation by Swedish designer Jessica Hansson.
In the small display case at Wäscheflott she will put on a kind of experimental peep show: a ‘drawing’ in a white space morphs from two- to three-dimensions and back. Never halting, the line – or is it a seam? – traces configurations inspired by tailoring, patterns, crosses shirt collars, and tells stories.

The PASSIONSWEGE format, a core component of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK, brings designers together with Vienna shops and manufacturers with on-the-spot experimental projects and interventions.

The resulting installations are all on show from 1.10. to 10.10. during normal opening hours in the business premises. A special reception takes place on the PASSIONSWEGE evenings in the presence of the designers.

The VIENNA DESIGN WEEK Passionswege are supported by the
Vienna Chamber of Commerce
