* Biedermeier furniture was the focus at the Vienna Applied Arts museum in 1896. The many visitors to this exhibition were so influenced by this style and its elegance that a new revival period became popular amongst European cabinetmakers. This revival period influenced the Art Deco style and the various Bauhaus styles.
