This beautiful book traces the career of Koloman Moser — one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century design — and focuses on his achievements in the applied arts.

During his short career, Koloman Moser emerged as a key figure in Viennese culture. His versatile work in interior and graphic design, furniture, textiles, jewelry, metalwork, glass, and ceramics contributed to the rise of the modern era.

This book provides an overview of Moser's complete oeuvre. It highlights his work as a graphic designer and his involvement with the Wiener Secession, with particular emphasis on his role as illustrator for the magazine Ver Sacrum (Holy Spring). Also his forays into textile design and ceramics are covered.

The book showcases designs that are characteristic of his early-modern style, including work for the Wiener Secession, the Thonet brothers, and the Mautner family.

Additionally, it discusses Moser's crucial role as co-founder of the Wiener Werkstätte, together with architect Josef Hoffmann and patron Fritz Waerndorfer.

The book contains numerous reproductions of Moser's masterworks, such as the stained-glass window of the Steinhof Chapel, exhibition posters, stamps, and banknotes, as well as elegant examples from his design portfolio 'Die Quelle' (The Source).
