Description
-
It was with the construction of the Westend Sanatorium near Vienna in 1904/05 that Josef Hoffmann succeeded in realizing his first public building—and at this temporary residence for guests in search of healing, he gave rise to an
entirely new spatial experience. The dining room’s slender, high-backed, dark-brown seating furniture, upholstered in wine-red oilcloth, contrasts with the white furnishing elements attached to the identically white walls, thus striking a balance between elements both vertical and horizontal and light and dark. At the same time as Hoffmann was doing his project, the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright was furnishing an administrative building of the Larkin Company in the American industrial city of Buffalo with pieces of his own design, including the earliest metal office chairs. Like his Viennese colleague, Wright’s attention was not directed exclusively toward functional criteria when designing; his furniture, as an integral part of the building’s interior design, was much rather to be understood as part of a total work of art.
