Furniture

I have always had a passion for furniture design. It all started with the game changing buffet cabinet, that I presented at the 8th exhibition of the Secession in 1900, which was the first one to do away with the distinction between “fine” and “applied” art. Later on I designed a lot more unique furniture in the name of the Wiener Werkstätte.

Buffet Cabinet, "The Rich Haul"
presented at the 15th Secession Exhibition, 1900

Marquetry: the stylized, reciprocal fish motif alternately of lightcolored box wood and dark pyramid mahogany, the horizontal lines made of stained maple wood and naturally colored box wood; glass, faceted glass, metal brass: escutcheons and foot mountings, interior of stained and waxed elm wood.
