DAS INTERIEUR, IV, 1903, p. 141
Carl Moll, BREAKFAST (oil on canvas painting), 1903
Kirk Varnedoe, VIENNA 1900: ART, ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN, exh. cat. Museum of Modern Art, 1986, p. 41 (for the Moll painting) <p>These chairs were designed ca. 1901, possibly for the Henneberg villa on the Hohen Warte in Vienna. The semi-detached Moll-Moser villas, the villa for Dr. Hugo Henneberg as well as the Villa Spitzer, the last to be completed, were impressive examples of the so-called Gesamtkunstwerkes. This was the idea that the designer should not only design the architecture but also the interior. This concept was central to Hoffmann's work and the "Villa Colony" (1900-1902) in the Hohen Warte in Vienna, one of first lasting monuments. <p>DAS INTERIEUR IV, 1903 published an article about the "Villa Colony" on the Hohen Warte. The dining room on page 141 shows a dining table surrounded by chairs (fig. 1), which differ slightly in the placement of the stretcher. In Carl Moll's villa, there were also similar chairs which appear in his painting, Breakfast.
