Pimp Majolica House

08/05/2010 · 3 comments

Located: 40 Linke Wienzeile, Vienna, Austria, 1899… Style:  Art Nouveau

If you like majolica pottery, this is for you.  Completed in 1899. Before Otto Wagner, the only place you could see majolica would be stove tiles or pottery. He tried to use the tiles of a façade and voila! It worked beautifully. After this, many architects started using coloured tiles and bricks in façades of apartment buildings. Pretty neat.
