Wittmann
Wittmann has a long tradition of uncompromising commitment to producing furniture of the highest quality. From its beginning, the Austrian company’s seating and bedroom furniture, such as armchairs and daybeds, have been fashioned from the most durable woods, like teak and oak, and upholstered in fine leather and fabrics.
Wittmann started in 1896 as a saddlery. In the 1950s, under the direction of Franz Wittmann, it began creating upholstered furniture. The company quickly made a name for itself by manufacturing quality pieces, with a focus on seating and bedroom furnishings.
Wittmann has regularly worked with major designers, with many collaborations leading to long-term partnerships. Austrian architect Johannes Spalt, French architect Jean Nouvel and Italian architect Paolo Piva have all had successful partnerships with the company.
The company’s most enduring collaboration was with Austrian designer Josef Hoffmann, a central figure in the modern furniture movement of the mid-20th century. Hoffmann moved away from extravagant ornamentation and embellishment in favor of showcasing the beauty of construction that shows through with a simple, well-crafted design. Though its mid-century modern furniture was intentionally simplistic, Wittmann incorporated color and texture into its offerings, providing some added flair compared to the popular Scandinavian modern works coming out of Denmark.
Drawing on this rich heritage, Wittmann continues to hand-make furnishings. It has stores in Vienna, Hamburg and Seon in Switzerland, and exports over 15,000 pieces each year to over 50 countries worldwide.

- Wittmann High Baton Wardrobe Stand by Neri&HuBy Wittmann, Neri & HuLocated in New York, NYThe shapes of BATON feel very familiar. They bring to mind historic Vienna – a reference that is quite deliberate: the collection is inspired by the zeitgeist of the Secessionist movement, a collective of painters, sculptors and designers who were committed to a forward-looking, international and inclusive view of art. The product family consists of wardrobe stands in two sizes, a low coffee table and a convivial bistro table. Supplementing the practical functionality of everyday objects with distinctive form is the eternal challenge in design. And it is precisely this balancing act that Neri&Hu has pulled off with the wardrobe stands and tables in the BATON series, which comes as a homage to the Viennese Secessionist design movement. Standing proud at 183 centimeters, the taller of the wardrobe stands accommodates long coats and blazers on hangers or loops, provides space for hats and caps, and will never be thrown off balance by heavier loads. Its smaller sibling, measuring 143 centimeters, is perfect for scarves, jackets or children's clothes, and on top of it all it includes a practical, bowl-shaped tray for keys...Category
