WOKA
WOKA LAMPS VIENNA® is a Vienna-based
Manufacturer of Iconic 20th Century Lighting
Design. Lovers of iconic lamps from the early
20th century were for decades deprived of
the possibility of owning some of the most
striking pieces by the Wiener Werkstaette and
the Bauhaus, which had long fallen out of
production.
The designers whose work WOKA is licensed
to produce read like a who’s who of the
Vienna design pantheon. In addition to
Hoffmann and Koloman (Kolo) Moser, the
manufacturer has reissued striking table,
ceiling, wall and floor lamps, as well as
chandelier pieces, by the likes of Adolf Loos,
Otto Wagner and Carl Witzmann.
A collection of very rare antiques of the early
20th century as well as a large collection
of chandeliers from the 18th century until
the 1960s is completing the business of the
WOKA GALLERY. On request all antiques and
pieces of arts are delivered with an expertise
made out by a certified appraiser for art and
antiques on the commercial court in Vienna.
WOKA LAMPS VIENNA® presents in its
Showroom in the centre of the city of Vienna
and on our website the complete collection of
the lamps designed by Josef Hoffmann, Adolf
Loos and other leading architects of the first
part of the 20th century Lamp-designs of the
second part of the20th century up to today’s
creativity.
Outstanding pioneers of this movement were,
as mentioned above, the designers Otto
Wagner, Josef Hoffmann and Kolo Moser in
conjunction with members of the "Wiener
Werkstaette", an organiza¬tion where the best
craftsmen an most distinguished designers of
the period worked in collaboration.
