Art Nouveau Calendar

An art nouveau calendar rooted in one of Vienna’s greatest design legacies, this wall calendar celebrates the extraordinary collaborations between Joh. Backhausen & Söhne and the masters of Viennese Modernism — Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Dagobert Peche. Founded in 1849, Backhausen became the leading producer of decorative and upholstery fabrics for the Wiener Werkstätte, translating visionary artistic ideas into luxurious damasks, brocades, and carpets that defined an era. Drawing from the legacy showcased in a celebrated Leopold Museum exhibition, this vienna wall calendar traces the creative journey from initial sketch to breathtaking finished fabric — and honours Dr. Louise Kiesling (1957–2022), whose lifelong dedication preserved the Backhausen Archives for future generations.

We have carefully curated a selection of the most captivating designs from this remarkable archive for this unique wall calendar — images that invite visitors to stop, look closely, and ask questions about art, craft, and the golden age of Viennese design. A natural conversation starter and a distinctive art lover calendar for any home or workspace. When the months have passed, cut out your favourites and frame them as pieces of modern art wall decor — or gift them to someone with a passion for the beautifully made.
