On the initiative of the MAK, the distinctive, fascinating designs by Felice Rix-Ueno (1893–1967), one of the most impressive artists of the Wiener Werkstätte (WW), will be represented at the Expo 2025.
13.4.2025—13.10.2025
International Exhibition
Titled Designing Future Society for Our Lives, the upcoming World Exposition in Osaka, Japan, will present contributions from more than 160 participating countries. Felice Rix-Ueno created hundreds of design drawings for the WW, mostly for fabric patterns, but also for wallpaper, embroidery, fashion and home accessories, toys, and commercial art. In her second home, Japan, Felice Rix-Ueno succeeded as a university professor and founder of her own design institute. Motifs by the artist are honored in several places of the Austria Pavilion designed by BWM Designers & Architects: on wallpaper in the VIP lounge, as a curtain in the Austria lounge, on information and sales stands in front of the pavilion, and also in the form of merchandising products and presents. With her biography and career on two continents and in different cultures, Felice Rix-Ueno embodies one of the central sub- themes of the Expo 2025: Connecting Lives.
