Mauritius Hergesell studied architecture at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts in the class of professor Josef Hoffmann from 1901 to 1905. The design for this dinning room suite  is strongly influenced by Hoffmann’s formal language as it was at the time. The furniture was manufactured in his father’s workshop. Anton Herrgesell was a renowned Viennese cabinetmaker who had his salesroom at one of the best addresses in Vienna, Am Stephansplatz 9, just opposite the main entrance to St. Stephan’s Cathedral.
