Themed tour: Design der Wiener Werkstätte

Monthly changing themed tours

Alongside painting and architecture, the decorative arts were also among the epoch-making contributions of Viennese modernism. The desire to unite art and life culminated in the founding of the Wiener Werkstätte by Kolo Moser, Josef Hoffmann and Fritz Waerndorfer in 1903. The declared goal of the artists, who were active in a wide variety of fields, was to make everyday life functional and beautiful.
