	title of this thread your message As some of the previous contributors pointed out there is of course a relation in the form language of Bauhaus and the Wiener Werkstätte a relationship that can not be explained simply by reminding people that they both had their roots in the arts and crafts movement...and than I remembered that that dear Charles Renny Mackintosh, the great Scottish architect visited Joseph Hoffmann. I am too short of time to look it up before the week-end but the visit was extensive, the admiration mutual and they kept in touch by letters afterwards. Mackintosh is probably the first one to start these very pure lines in both architecture and furniture. The repetition of squares also started in his work and was repeated in Hoffmann's so there might be something there that we overlooked. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
