As the most important Austrian urban planner of the time, Otto Wagner was commissioned with the planning and construction of the Vienna metropolitan railway system, which he implemented between 1894 and 1901. As Wagner was also responsible for designing the train carriages, he designed this ceiling light as part of the carriages’ interior decoration.
