Ludwig Wittgenstein
Ludwig Wittgenstein, geb.
1889, war ein berühmter öster-
reichisch-britischer Philosoph.
Seine künstlerischen Fähig-
keiten, sowie sein Interesse an
Architektur und Design ver-
anlassten Wittgenstein, in
den Jahren 1926–1928 das
Wohnhaus seiner Schwester
Margarethe in Wien selbst
zu erbauen und auszustatten.
Hier erschuf er auch dieses
besondere Türgriffpaar, ent-
wickelt aus einer Rundstange.
Wir haben das Design über -
arbeitet und dem heutigen
Stand der Technik angepasst.
Ludwig Wittgenstein, born
in 1889, was a famous Austrian-
British philosopher. It was
due to his artistic talent and
his interest in architecture and
design that he decided to
design and construct a residence
in Vienna for his sister
Margarethe in 1926–1928.
His original creations included
this pair of door handles,
fashioned from a round rod
especially for this house.
We have reworked his design to
bring it in line with modern
technology.
