Poetry of the Ornament Wall Calendar – Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser & Dagobert Peche Designs, Art Nouveau Gift for Design Enthusiasts

Celebrate the timeless artistry of Joh. Backhausen & Söhne, one of Vienna’s most prestigious producers of decorative and upholstery fabrics, with this exquisite wall calendar. Drawing from the legacy showcased in a recent Leopold Museum exhibition, this calendar highlights collaborations with legendary artists of Viennese Modernism, including Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Dagobert Peche. Each month features iconic designs that defined the elegance and innovation of the Wiener Werkstätte.

Founded in 1849, Joh. Backhausen & Söhne transformed artistic visions into luxurious fabrics, damasks, brocades, and carpets, becoming a cornerstone of Viennese design history. This calendar celebrates their enduring influence, offering a glimpse into their creative journey—from initial sketches to fabric samples to breathtaking finished works. It also honors Dr. Louise Kiesling (1957–2022), whose passion and commitment preserved the Backhausen Archives for future generations.
