PROLOGUE PROLOG In these fast-paced times, which are all too often shaped by conformity and imitation, true value rests in details and individuality. For decades, Wittmann has pursued the realisation of distinctive design as an expression of timeless originality with inimitable self-assurance – brought to life through masterful handcraftsmanship. What leaves the workshops is anything but mainstream. This conviction runs through every product – it makes the difference. Making the difference. Wittmann‘s new brand claim perfectly encapsulates the company‘s deeprooted philosophy. For...

»Creating pieces that connect with a certain history has always been important to us. We hope they insert themselves in a certain continuity but also hoping that they will have their own identity.« – Lyndon Neri Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu like it quiet: the architects aspire to create pieces that work in the background. They never look to make attention-grabbing, iconographic statements. Based on this approach and with incredible creative tenacity, the interdisciplinary designers have built up a portfolio that is defined by its straightforwardness and clarity. In their offices in Shanghai...

It is something that – in the context of my work, my background and my history – just makes sense.« – Arthur Arbesser Although the Vienna-born fashion designer has not lived in his home town for more than 20 years now, the Austrian capital is still a strong point of reference in his creative output: sculpted by its own history and culture, the city crops up time and again in his prints, colours and...

Arbesser – FORME RUG COLLECTION WITTMANN & -TAPIS Furnishing and decorating a room is multidimensional, just like the personalities of its owners. Vertical and horizontal planes alike call for adornment with individual items: furniture, art, accessories and keepsakes breathe life into the architecture. High-quality textiles play a considerable role in this. They ensure pleasant acoustics and revel in their ability to set the tone in terms of a colour scheme, while also making sometimes eyecatching statements. In the realm of home textiles, the rug is cast in the starring role: in many cases...

Arbesser – ICONA FABRIC COLLECTION WITTMANN & RUBELLI What do the tiled entrance halls and stairwells of old Viennese apartment buildings, historic book covers and a freshly opened box of chocolates have in common? They all inspired Arthur Arbesser to make his ICONA fabric collection for Wittmann – realised at the highest level of quality by traditional Venetian manufactory Rubelli: STRIPES, DOTS, TILES, BOX and CARTA are a new take on familiar patterns. A simple stripe creates an optical form, while a classical chequerboard pattern becomes finely structured layers of endless cubes. In...
