The Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshops), founded in 1903 by architect Josef Hoffmann, graphic designer and painter Koloman Moser, and financier Fritz Waerndorfer, was a pioneering collective of artists, designers, and craftspeople based in Vienna, Austria.

Key designers like Michael Powolny, Josef Hoffmann, and Koloman Moser created iconic black-and-white checkered patterns, geometric shapes, and vibrant figurative works.
