The Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshop) was a melting pot of fine and applied art that gave a completely new perspective on life, freed from the shackles of the past. The interpretation of Art Nouveau by the Viennese “Jugendstil” artists, broke both the boundaries of banal, everyday objects and complex architectural challenge. They experimented with all conceivable manner of materials and surface textures.
The freedom and elegance of this bygone era breathe afresh in WELTWIEN through the architecture, design and modern art of this extensively revitalised building: And are alive in the here and now. The innovations and ideas of Josef Hoffmann and the Wiener Werkstätte are invoked by architects, artists and designers to this very day.
With outstanding working and living areas, the fully air-conditioned apartments at WELTWIEN have been perfectly designed for optimum work/life balance. The unparalleled design and iconic French windows, combined with modern art, spacious terraces and a free mini bar, bring you the highest level of comfort.
The ART YARD is a space for tranquillity and retreat, with thought-provoking and timeless objects by the sculptor Iris Sageder, which complement the vibrant artistic, design and architectural facets of the WELTWIEN. The apartments with balconies that fan out over the garden, benefit from the magic of this world of sculpture.
Discover one of the most diverse Vienna Grätzl (neighbourhoods). From the quiet and comfort of WELTWIEN you only need to cross the street to join the hustle and bustle of the Meidlinger Markt. Let yourself be drawn into the intercultural panache of snack bars, delicatessen shops, award-winning restaurants and a farmer’s market with regional products.
While the Wiener Werkstätte represents a break from old artistic concepts, nearby lies Schönbrunn, the epitome of Vienna’s historic past. The WELTWIEN offers you the best of both worlds: The experience of a newly interpreted Jugendstil – and right next door all the enjoyment of probably the most beautiful baroque building in Europe.
