The Lifeline
Scroll through wiener werkstätte's working life — artwork by artwork, chapter by chapter — from the earliest dated work to the last. Each thumbnail is pinned at its exact year on the gold axis.

The ribbon is divided into shaded bands, one per career chapter. Each chapter groups wiener werkstätte's works by their historical period — early training, mature practice, final years.
