I'm going to Vienna today for five days. Does anyone have any favorite galleries or shops that they like in or around there? Vintage appeals to me more than new but I like exploring everything.

Thanks, Eric. I spent yesterday morning there and it was delicious. Really enjoyed learning more about Thonet, Josef Hoffman and the Wiener Werkstatte. The exhibition on formless furniture was fun, as well.
For anyone else visiting Vienna, there's a great shop on the Michael-Bernhard-Gasse called Prodomowien.
Koen, do any shops in Vienna carry your tableware designs?

I realize I'm posting this into oblivion, however, someone in the future might be searching under "trips to Vienna" one day and come across it. Today, I visited the Hundertwasser Haus, which is outside of the Inner Circle of Vienna, and I was blown away. If you visit there and are into Bauhaus or Midcentury, go, go, go!
