After studying crafts (cabinetmaking) and then the applied arts, Marion Courtillé occupies the interface between craft and design by establishing her identity through the reassignment of materials. How can one be innovative with a material that has already been worked for many centuries? By using techniques on this material generally applied to other materials.

Interiors and objets d'art by the most famous architects and designers of the turn of the 19th to the 20th centuries, such as Adolf Loos and Otto Wagner (along with their students), as well as Josef Hoffmann and Kolo Moser - the best known artists of the WIENER WERKSTÄTTE - are presented on two floors.

Serge Spitzer

Serge Spitzer (born Romania 1951) is an American artist who uses sculpture, site-specific installations, works on paper, photography and video to question, explore and reflect on the shared reality everywhere. What ties his works together since the 1970s has been the challenging of assumptions. He gives a clue to this by calling his works 'reality models', alerting the viewer to the possibility that what we are looking at is perhaps an altered or amplified aspect of the world around us. Whether transforming architectural spaces by flooding them with hordes of unexpected, incongruous objects, or arranging a seemingly endless piece of thread into a tangle of lines as a 'drawing', Spitzer manages to gift his audience with a sense of wonder.

The interest in glass, practiced in our daily work, and the dialogue with our artisans, designers and customers have time and again led to innovations.

The muslin drinking glass set by Josef Hoffmann was created together with designers of the Vienna Workshop. In 1929, the drinking set No. 248 by Adolf Loos anticipated the shape of a plain chalice that is valid to this day.
