From around 1910, Hoffmann student Karl Bräuer was employed at the Wiener Werkstätte where he was responsible for numerous fitting and furnishing designs. Contemporary literature contains many designs which were apparently not executed by the WW. The design for the bedroom of the Dr. Fr. v. Sch. villa in Vienna is one such and the gentleman's room in Ms R. Chat-Helbig's residence another. Both of these designs are a very clear indication that our bookcase was designed by Bräuer.
