WW (Viennese Workshops) - Gesamtkunstwerke
In addition to a considerable number of fittings for shops and apartments, major building projects were also carried out, which established the fame of the WW and simultaneously documented stylistic developments: the sanatorium at Purkersdorf (1904/05), the Stoclet Palace (1906-11) or the Fledermaus cabaret and theatre (1907).
Due to the magnitude of such projects, the number of WW-employees grew steadily.
Artists and former students of the Vienna Schools of Arts and Crafts designed commissioned works or created (from 1913 on in the artists' workshops) commissioned products. Participation in exhibitions in Austria and abroad as well as the extension of the range of products offered and the expansion of the sales and distribution network made the WW better known internationally
