Walker Art Gallery

circa 1906

Josef Hoffmann was the most important designer behind the foundation of the Wiener Werkstatte where this piece was made. His designs for metalwork earned him the nickname 'quadratl' Hoffmann and a place as a pioneer of geometrical Modernist design. This piece is one of the most uncompromising of Hoffmann's proto-modernist grid designs.
