Hi all,

I am pulling together some info on the Wiener Werkstätte and would like to compile a cheatsheet of movements and designers they influenced and references to specific pieces of furniture. Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier are two examples but if you know any others I'd appreciate it if you could post them here.

As an example here's a Hoffman chair and a Le Corbusier chair.

I am happy to post here when I've pulled this together if anyone is interested.

Thanks

.
Richard Meier for Knoll off the top of my head, you might find some post war fashion designers, jewellery makers and silversmiths were influenced by the style more than furniture designers and architects.

an example
squire,
I know you asked about furniture influenced by Wiener Werkstätte, but the first thing that came to mind was the porcelain I use by Bernardaud of Limoges, France. The pattern, that is no longer in production, was called Wiener. The literature claimed that it was based on work by Josef Hoffmann. Good luck with your project.
