Cruet Stand 1904 - 1905

"Cruet Stand," designed by Koloman Moser in 1904-1905, is a prime example of Viennese Secession style. The stand features two glass bottles with stoppers, held within a simple yet elegant silver frame. The frame's geometric grid pattern and clean lines reflect the movement's emphasis on functionalism and geometric forms. The stand's simplicity and decorative details demonstrate the Secession's commitment to artistic design for everyday objects, highlighting the beauty of functionality and craftsmanship. The stand, currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to Moser's dedication to a unique and minimalist aesthetic.
