After winning the Rome prize in 1895 and joining Wagner's office, he established his own office in 1898 and taught at the Vienna Kunstgewerbeschule from 1899 to 1936.  He was a founding member of the Vienna Secession, an avant-garde group of artists and architects.  In 1903 he founded the Wiener Werkstätte with Koloman Moser.  Hoffmann's earliest works reflect the Vienna Secession's variant of Art Nouveau and his later work shows a pioneering use of geometric and abstract design.  His most famous building, the Palais Stoclet in Brussels, built 1905-1911, exemplifies the ideal of the 'Gesamtkunstwerk' or 'total work of art'.","physicalDescription":"Jardiniere, iron, the sides of the vessel regularly undulate, forming when viewed, edge on, eight crests and eight corresponding depressions.  The upper edge is rolled over providing a reinforced rim.  The sides are perforated with small rectangular slots with curved ends, arranged in a sequence of eight regular rows down the entire side of the vessel.  The base is a flat sheet of metal edges corresponding to the undulating sides.  The vessel is supported on four spherical feet finished in electroplated silver and placed at regular intervals around the edge.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Koloman Moser","id":"A11452"},"association":{"text":"designer","id":"x36960"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Wiener Werkstatte","id":"A493"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"x40240"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"iron","id":"AAT11002"},{"text":"nickel silver","id":"AAT242125"}],"techniques":[{"text":"piercing","id":"AAT231153"},{"text":"folding","id":"AAT247923"},{"text":"electroplating","id":"AAT54000"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Iron pierced and folded.","categories":[{"text":"Metalwork","id":"THES48920"}],"styles":[{"text":"Jugendstil","id":"AAT21313"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2006AM7220"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"74","id":"THES49720"},"free":"","case":"CA001","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Jardiniere","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Vienna","id":"x29246"},"association":{"text":"designed and made","id":"x39722"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca.1906","earliest":"1901-01-01","latest":"1910-12-31"},"association":{"text":"designed and made","id":"x39722"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"20.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"20.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":"maximum"}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Jardiniere, iron, Vienna, ca.1906, designed by Koloman Moser.
