“The snow globe is a world unto itself”, sais Erwin Perzy III. He is a third-generation snow globe maker: his grandfather invented the snow globe. Ever since, Mr Perzy’s hand-painted German shepherds, horseshoes, Lipizzaner horses, and romantic couples submerged in water and in artificial snow have delighted collectors at home and abroad. Erwin Perzy collects things in his workshop he – subjectively - finds unusual in his 250-years-old workshop building. Under the title ‘Wunderliche Kugelkammer’ [Fantastic Global Curio Cabinet], the designer Julia Landsiedl, known for her playful and humorous view of human behaviour in her art, now turns to the creator of the snow globe, to Baroque curiosity cabinets, and to conservation.

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
