The Wiener Werkstätte (Viennese Workshops) was a design movement that flourished in Vienna from 1903 to 1932. It was founded by a group of artists and designers who were dissatisfied with the state of the decorative arts in Austria at the time. They believed that the decorative arts had become stagnant and uninspired, and they wanted to create a new kind of design that was both beautiful and functional. They were inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement in England at the time, and both shared many of the same goals. The Wiener Werkstätte leaders, Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser, believed that good design should be accessible to everyone, not just the wealthy. They also believed that design should be integrated into all aspects of life, from furniture and jewellery to architecture and fashion.

The Wiener Werkstätte produced a wide range of objects, including furniture, textiles, jewellery, ceramics, and glassware. more...
