Overview
The Hôtel Tassel (French: Hôtel Tassel; Dutch: Hotel Tassel), also known as the Tassel House, is a historic town house in Brussels, Belgium. It was designed by Victor Horta for the scientist and professor Emile Tassel, and built between 1892 and 1893, in Art Nouveau style. It is considered one of the first buildings in that style (along with the Hankar House by Paul Hankar, built at the same time) because of its highly innovative plan and its ground-breaking use of materials and decoration.
