Vienna Workshop

Japanese: ウィーン工房 - ウィーンこうぼう
Vienna Workshop
Its official name was the Wiener Werkstätte - Vienna Artists' Production Cooperative. It was founded in 1903 by Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser as a crafts factory for the Vienna Secession. It attempted to reinstate crafts and artisanal handiwork by incorporating them into the design creative process. The organization was heavily influenced by the Guild of Craftsmen run by architect Charles Robert Ashbee, who participated in the British Arts and Crafts movement. Under Hoffmann's direction, it aimed to become a comprehensive arts workshop, and worked on a wide range of projects, including furniture, vases, tableware and other everyday items, as well as books, jewelry, textiles and architecture. It was characterized by decorative designs based on simple geometric forms based on squares, but after Dagold Pöche joined in 1915, it gradually began to use more curvaceous decorations. It closed in 1932 due to financial difficulties. Representative works include the Hôtel Stoclet in Brussels (1905-1911), for which he was responsible for the architecture, interior design, and tableware design.

Japanese:
正式名は〈ウィーン工房――ウィーン工芸美術家生産協同組合〉。1903年,ヨーゼフ・ホフマン,コロマン・モーザーによってウィーン分離派(ゼツェッシオン)の工芸品製作所として結成。工芸や職人の手仕事をデザインの創造過程の中に組み込むことにより,その復権を試みた。その組織には,英国のアーツ・アンド・クラフツ運動に参加した建築家チャールズ・ロバート・アシュビーの運営した〈手工芸ギルド〉の影響が強い。ホフマンの指揮のもと,総合芸術の工房を目指し,家具,花瓶,テーブルウェアなどの日用品,書籍,宝飾,テキスタイル,建築など,手がけた仕事は幅広い。方形を基本としたシンプルな幾何学的形態による装飾デザインが特徴的だが,1915年ダゴルト・ペッヒェの参加を契機に次第に曲線的な装飾を増していった。1932年,財政難のため閉鎖。代表的な仕事は,建築,内装,食器デザインまで手がけたブリュッセルの〈ストックレー邸〉(1905年―1911年)など。
