Product Details
Meet modernist trailblazer Josef Hoffmann, a pivotal figure in European aesthetics who pioneered the Viennese Secession movement and the Wiener Werkstätte. This Austrian mastermind introduced a brave, new form of minimalism that continues to inspire architecture and design to this day, from monochrome interior schemes to the cutlery on our table.
Each book in Taschen’s Basic Architecture series features an introduction to the life and work of the architect with over a 100 illustrations depicting their achievements.
