A Wiener Werkstatte Book plate



The range of work done by the various graphic designers craftspersons and artistst associated with the Wiener Werkstatte really was quite extraordinary. Jewellery, silverwear, architecture, book plates, posters, book covers, dresses, textiles, post cards, book illustration, and furniture.

I've tried to find images that are not just the same ones you see again and again in textbooks.

Hope you're enjoying them?!
