Éric Bagge designed furniture, wallpaper, fabrics, accessories as well as jewelry and silverware. His furniture was made of fine woods with geometric motifs inspired by cubism . He belonged to the group of designers of the time who wanted to leave historicism behind and aimed at a visual remodeling of French furniture. Bagge was particularly known for his wall hangings, with his rayon curtains often showing the same motifs as his wallpaper products.

Bagge participated in numerous salons of the Société des Artistes Français , the Société du Salon d'Automne (here he also created the interior furnishings), the Société des artistes décorateurs and the Union centrale des arts décoratifs .

For the Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et industriels modern in 1925, he designed the furnishings for the 500 m² jewelry room in the Grand Palais . He also decorated La salle de toilette - the bathroom of the French pavilion - as well as the Les Gobelins et Beauvais exhibitions . For the Éditeur d'art (art publisher) Arthur Goldscheider , Bagge created an octagonal, capped pavilion that was lit like a sculptor's studio. The work of the progressive artist groups La Stèle for modern sculpture and L'Evolution for decorative arts and crafts were shown here.

Bagge was a member of the Groupe des Architectes Modernes and the Société d'encouragement à lʼart et à lʼindustrie and designed furniture for furniture stores such as La Maîtrise, Saddier et Fils, Mercier Frères Décoration and GEJ Dennery.

In 1926 he designed the magnificent Cabine de Grand Luxe for the ocean liner Île de France .

In 1929 he was appointed artistic director of the modern furniture store Palais du Marbre of the Mercier brothers at 77 avenue des Champs-Élysées . In 1930 he opened his own shop.
