Wiener Werkstätte

Wiener Werkstätte konst/hantverk 1903-1932

Vienna around the year 1900 was a creative melting pot, where the composer Gustav Mahler underwent psychoanalysis with Sigmund Freud, and Gustav Klimt's life partner Emilie Flöge founded the fashion house Schwestern Flöge and modeled for his iconic work The Kiss. In this environment, the production cooperative Wiener Werkstätte was founded by architect Josef Hoffmann, artist Koloman Moser, and patron Fritz Waerndorfer in 1903. They questioned the advance of industrialization and sought to elevate the status of the craftsman and the value of craftsmanship. Art and design were to permeate everything from architecture, furniture design, fashion, and jewelry to toys and everyday objects. The philosophy of dissolving the boundary between art and craft also became central in Swedish architecture and design.
