derstandard.de →Adolphe Stoclet (1871–1949) ist hierzulande kaum ein Begriff, allenfalls über das in seinem Auftrag von Josef Hoffmann, der Wiener Werkstätte (WW) und einer Vielzahl von Künstlern und Handwerkern fernab von Wien realisierte Gesamtkunstwerk: das 1905 bis 1911 am Stadtrand von Brüssel erbaute und bis heute in Familienbesitz erhaltene Palais Stoclet.

Article
The Stoclet Palace (French: Palais Stoclet [palɛ stɔklɛ]; Dutch: Stocletpaleis [stɔˈklɛːpaːˌlɛis]), also known as the Stoclet House, is a historic mansion in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre, a municipality of Brussels, Belgium. It was designed by the Austrian architect Josef Hoffmann for the Belgian financier Adolphe Stoclet, and built between 1905 and 1911, in the Vienna Secession style. Considered Hoffman's masterpiece, the residence is one of the 20th century's most refined and luxurious private houses.
The sumptuous dining and music rooms of the Stoclet Palace exemplified the theatrical spaces of the Gesamtkunstwerk ("total work of art"), celebrating sight, sound, and taste in a symphony of sensual harmonies that paralleled the operas of Richard Wagner, from whom the concept originated. In his designs for the Stoclet Palace, Hoffmann was particularly attuned to fashion and to the Viennese identity of the new style of interior, even designing a dress for Madame Stoclet so that she would not clash with her living room decor as she had while wearing a French Paul Poiret gown.
