Vienna Vibes at Bonadea For London Craft Week 2022

Bonadea, situated on Pimlico Road, masterfully displays luxury home decor pieces. The atmosphere perfectly aligned to present Bodo Sperlein’s latest designs encapsulating his passion for the Vienna modernism style.

Walking into the emporium of grandeur tableware, the ‘Onda’ centrepiece collection for Jarosinski & Vaugoin was easy to spot with its distinctive intertwining of silver and wood. Also showing is the ‘Orlo’ collection, a range of silver and wooden pieces of bowls, vases, lidded containers, and a silver tray stands to redefine 21st-century table culture. 

Continuing with exploring silver’s extraordinary qualities, Bodo Sperlein’s collection in collaboration with Jarosinski & Vaugoin for the couture perfume house WienerBlut sat closely. A series of sculptural silver perfume bottle toppers with various styles sparked conversation about how silver can mould to be the highlight of every room. 

Beginning its global premiere, ‘Moire’, the latest collection by Sperlein for Lobmeyr, explores new realms of Vienna’s style. Ultra-thin and hand-blown glassware, consisting of carafes, a candy dish and an array of glassware engraved to resemble the Moire traditional French silk-weaving technique. Available in various bright tones, this collection makes its first debut in time for outdoor dining. 

To complete Bodo Sperlein’s vision of ‘Vienna Vibes’, nya nordisha Balbo curtains, as well as Blast and Blitz cushions; that was inspired by Viennese Modernism, were also on display, allowing for the space to be endlessly manipulated and transformed. 

The panel discussed the importance of incorporating modern technology with traditional artisanal craft and how the Wiener Werkstatte continues its relevance within the Modern era.   

The three collections launched at the Vienna Vibes exhibition were the Moire collection for Lobmeyr, The Orlo collection for Jarosinski & Vaugoin and decorative bottle toppers for WienerBlut (manufactured in collaboration with Jarosinski & Vaugoin.) Discover the collections on our Projects page.

To celebrate the launch of new collections from Bodo Sperlein during London Craft Week 2022, Bonadea hosted an exhibition and panel discussion featuring experts in their fields.  

Hosted by Sophia Toce, Executive Editor for The World of Interiors, Bodo Sperlein was joined by Johannes Rath from the historic Viennese manufacturer Lobmeyr and Rebecca Luffman, Assistant Curator for Ceramics and Glass for the Victoria and Albert Museum.
