Viennese Workshop Summary

In the Josef Hoffman and Koloman reading, the reading is about the Work-Program of the Weiner Werkstatte. Hoffman and Moser are two Austrian architect-designers. They were both members of the Vienna secession movement in the 1890s. they cofounded the Wiener Werkstatte, which is Viennese Workshop from 1903-1932; it was an enterprise dedicated to the ideas of Ruskin and Morris by producing equisite hand-crafted furnishings, decorative objects, textiles, jeweley and bookbindings. They remained committed to Weiner Werkstatte long after the Arts and Crafts movement.
The reading speaks about the machine and factory work is replacing hand-made crafted goods. More goods are being mass-produced. Then continues to read how valulable hand-crafted and hand-made work is and the delitact and exact craftsmanship that is needed. They then finally write that they want to make products compare to those made in Japan and have encouragement along the journey.
This article I feel is a good representation of today simply because more good are being mass-produced and being distributed all over the wolrd.
Products are being favored to be ordered online rather in store or at a market even. The wolrd is changing and hand-crafted materials are becoming more unique to find.

What is a Viennese Workshop?
In 20 years, will the world or even just North America make hand-crafted goods? It’s a scary thought to actually think
about.
