The Wiener Werkstätte, founded by Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Fritz Waerndorfer, was an artists' and craftsmen's collective that existed in Vienna from 1903 until 1932. They produced items in a variety of media including ceramics, furniture, glass, jewellery, metalwork, and textiles. The Wiener Werkstätte style influenced generations of architects from Bauhaus to Art Deco.
