An original image that takes its structure from Vienna Secession (Style, 1897–1910s) and its accent from Wiener Werkstätte (Style, 1903–1932). Structural cues: Square skeletons; Repeating pattern; Gold and black; Flattened figures and plants. Accent cues, used sparingly: Squares and grids; Black-and-white contrast; Luxurious handcraft; Whole lives designed. Composition: Build on the square and a central axis; gather imagery at the top. Type and lettering: Tall serifs or geometric hand-lettering. Let one material quality come from the second style: Black and white as the ground, with silver, wood and leather in small doses. Mood: Luxury, Calm, Trust, Intimacy. Color: build on #e7dcc0, #9a7a32, #17150f with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Vienna Secession: Don't lump it with Art Nouveau's plant curves. Keep the straight line, the grid, the flatness.
# - Wiener Werkstätte: Reproducing the grid and the black and white by machine alone, where the absence of hand precision leaves nothing but stiff decoration.
