Many pieces of furniture today described as \"classics\" were designed by architects. The Az W collection includes a considerable number of furniture designs, by, among others, Oswald Haerdtl, Eugen Wörle, Roland Rainer, Oskar Payer and Johannes Spalt. On the basis of a number of examples of furniture the following questions are explored: what motivates architects to design furniture? Is there a \"Design Austria\" after 1945?
