Centerpiece Franz Hagenauer ca. 1928

Products from Werkstätte Hagenauer can be seen – in the best sense – as a continuation of the Austrian design tradition in the succession of the Wiener Werkstätte. Especially stylized depictions of animals in metal or wood were typical products of Werkstätte Hagenauer Vienna. Various table centerpieces and bowls with stylized animal motifs were among the most popular export items of the Viennese manufactory. This table centerpiece of a stylized horse was designed by Franz Hagenauer in the late 1920s. The reduced design language paired with Hagenauer’s characteristic clear lines make this centerpiece a timeless design object.
