Why Would We Name a Speaker Line after a Painter?
It seemed only natural to name the absolute Reference Vienna Acoustics has ever created in homage to one of the most thrilling artists the city has ever unleashed – a man whose immense achievements in visual art were profoundly inspired by music.
Passion, skill, leadership, innovation, vision, harmony, teamwork: the words that evoke Klimt and his Art were also always target for Vienna Acoustics and the company’s latest achievement, the first model out of the Klimt Series, "THE MUSIC".
The patented Vienna Acoustics Schönberg Series represents a complete and radical evolution, from binding posts to drivers, to crossovers, to cabinets, all resulting in optimum sound for near-wall-applications. These new features build on the many strengths of the past designs while collectively realizing a greater sense of ease and resolution of musical detail throughout the line of new loudspeakers without any loss of the rich, dynamicsound for which Vienna Acoustics speakers have been known.
Josef Hoffmann, founder of the legendary “Wiener Werkstätte“ designed this world renowned mocca set in 1929. The ribbed sides allow a variety of pattern possibilites and is available in ten shades. Due to the large number of rounded festures it continues to place very high demands on the porcelain painters of Augarten, when using the airbrush.
On September 15th, 1966, during a presentation ceremony at the new MET Opera House in New York, the Austrian Foreign Minister, Lujo Toncic-Soring, declared that the new Lobmeyr chandeliers “should remain forever a shining and glittering symbol of the friendship between Austria and the United States”.
AD 5 is the handmade reproduction of a lamp created by Desny in 1924.
Oswald Haerdtl, one of the most versatile architects during the first half of the 20th century, worked closely together with Lobmeyr. One of the highlights of the combined creativity is seen in this remarkable design from the year 1925.
The Bed is a unique and timeless masterpiece. Designed in an elegant-reduced form, extracted from very old, matured wood which was used in a building for at least 150 years and manufactured with the characteristical „dovetails” in ultimate perfection of tradtional craftmanship
AD 3 is the handmade reproduction of a lamp created by the french designer Charles Martin (1884 - 1934). It is movable in any direction.
The term Party Lounge, registered as a patent by designer Friedrich Kiesler in 1936, is something of a declaration of intent, as the sofa has room for up to six people — enough for a party.
