DESIGNS FROM THE VIENNA WORKSHOP:

Architect Josef Hoffmann and designer and painter Koloman Moser founded the Vienna Workshop or Wiener Werkstätte after parting ways with the Vienna Secession. From 1903-32 the cooperative of artists created highly decorative everyday objects driven by quality of design and bolstered by the support of Vienna's elite. The group produced furniture, textiles, postcards, ceramics, jewellery and more and 30 artworks are included in this book of postcards, repeating patterns in bold colours, floral designs in teal, peach and orange such as Florentina by Mathilde Flögl (1893-1950) or Valentine Kovacic's Harlem in blue with green and sage, shown in detail, a thistle type floral design. Glossy white detachable postcards in softback, all in glorious colour and many a detail central to the white bordered postcard.
