Upholstery Fabric
<p>Vienna’s Kunstgewerbeschule, or School of Applied Arts, had many distinguished professors, including Weiner Werkstätte (Vienna Workshop) founder <a href="https://www.artic.edu/artists/34965">Josef Hoffman</a> (Austrian, 1870–1956). During Hoffmann’s early years of teaching, his own work became increasingly geometric, and this fabric’s design of small triangles punctuated by circles and straight lines reflects his influence.</p>
