The „Streber Clip“ is a brooch inspired by a design by Josef Hoffmann. Commissioned by the Wiener Werkstätte for the Sanatorioum Purkersdorf, the still timeless design for an upholstery fabric called „Streber“ was created in 1904. It is typical of Hoffmann’s early designs. In contrast to a brooch, which is attached with a needle, the clip works similar to a paper clip. Simple pieces of clothing thus experience a special revaluation and attract looks magically.

Der „Streber Clip“ ist eine Brosche, die von einem Entwurf von Josef Hoffmann inspiriert ist. Im Auftrag der Wiener Werkstätte für das Sanatorioum Purkersdorf enstand 1904 der noch immer zeitlose Entwurf für einen Polsterstoff namens „Streber“. Er ist typisch für die frühen Hoffmannschen Entwürfe. Ganz anders als eine Brosche die mit einer Nadel angesteckt wird, funktioniert der Clip ähnlich wie eine Büroklammer. Schlichte Kleidungstücke erfahren so eine besondere Aufwertung und ziehen Blicke magisch an.
