Das Buch dokumentiert erstmals umfassend das Gesamtwerk Josef Hoffmanns. Als Wagner-Schüler, Gründungsmitglied der Wiener Secession (1897), Professor an der Wiener Kunstgewerbeschule (1899-1936), Mitbegründer der Wiener Werkstätte (1903), des Deutschen Werkbundes (1907) sowie des Österreichischen Werkbundes (1912) kultivierte er ein Modell moderner Lebensweisen auf der Basis einer handwerklich geprägten, künstlerisch ambitionierten und gestalterisch avancierten Bau- und Produktkultur. Über 40 illustrierte Essays namhafter ExpertInnen zu den wichtigsten Bauten, Interieurs, Ausstellungen, kunstgewerblichen Entwürfen und Produkten stellen alle Sparten seines großen Œuvres dar. Großzügige Bildstrecken, eine detaillierte Biografie und ein umfassender Dokumentationsteil runden das Buch ab zu einem neuen Standard-Werk.
