In the new fabric collection Wiener Sehnsucht by Backhausen, Sehnsucht (longing) attempts to bring wisfulness and yearning into the present through mysteriously enigmatic designs from the Wiener Werkstätte. Familiar patterns are given new interpretations, while even greater attention is paid to modern resources in the manufacturing process and the materials are made from natural fibres reliant on sustainability. Fin de siècle creations by renowned designers such as Josef Hoffmann, Josef Hackhofer, Ernst Lichtblau and Otto Prutscher reappear from the Backhausen archive and effortlessly find their way into the here and now via imaginative reinterpretations.
