The objective here is to document all of the MAK’s Wiener Werkstätte lace and embroideries and to arrive at the most exact descriptions possible via research on the designing artists, the period of the items’ creation and their actual production, taking advantage of the unusually rich documentary material that is available. Examination of this material began in 2011, and it is to be made accessible to users as part of the MAK Collection online in 2017.
