Josef Hoffmann Pair of 'Cabinett' Cubic Lounge Chairs in Mahogany

Josef Hoffmann for Wittmann Möbelwerkstätten, pair of 'Cabinett' lounge chairs, stained mahogany, fabric, Austria, design 1903, made 1980s

This pair of 'Cabinett' lounge chairs is an authorized Wittmann edition of Josef Hoffmann's seminal 1903 design, one of the earliest and most refined expressions of Viennese Modernism. Designed at the pivotal moment when Hoffmann co-founded the Wiener Werkstätte, the Cabinett chair exemplifies his revolutionary approach to furniture, reducing form to pure geometric volumes while maintaining exceptional comfort and craftsmanship.

The chairs feature architectural mahogany frames with clean, rectilinear lines that enclose generously upholstered seat, back, and side panels. Their restrained cubic silhouette reflects Hoffmann's belief that proportion and construction should replace ornament, resulting in a timeless design that feels as contemporary today as it did over a century ago.

Kindly note that the fabric is in good, used condition. Your special requests regarding reupholstery and finishing can be realized by the experienced craftspeople in our own in-house restoration and upholstery atelier.
