Workshop Depot

The craftsmen in the Bregenzerwald are known for the correct quality of their work.
It is the result of a consciously guided, organised look between the subjects of traditional handicraft know-how and contemporary design, co-operation and competition - forwardness as a condition for ability and integrating influences from the outside harmoniously. In its organisational structure, the Bregenzerwald Workshop is a modern product. The roots of its activities, like handicrafts and design were already there before the union was formed and are utilized professionally today.
