The company Friedrich Otto Schmidt (and its Budapest branch) has been and still is the most important maker of bespoke furniture and cabinets in Vienna. Although the company also produced objects modelled on French and English designs, it is famous for the furniture made from designs by Adolf Loos, Wilhelm Schmidt and Koloman Moser.
