Looking Through the Garden Gate

During my last Sunday's afternoon walk in the 19th district I passed by several beautiful mansions - sometimes you can only get a climpse of the buildings by looking through the garden gate... This mansion was built in 1906/07 by famous architect Josef Hoffmann for the Austrian Art Nouveau painter Carl Moll (1861-1945).

Augarten Porcelain

Augarten porcelain was founded in 1718, it is famous for its delicate and graceful shapes and it is still produced and painted by hand in the manufactory at Augarten castle in the 2nd district. One of the windows of the new flagship store is currently decorated with the "Melon" coffee service, designed by Austrian architect and designer of consumer goods Josef Hoffmann in 1929.
