Jacob & Josef Kohn Austria, c.
1907 lacquered beech, upholstery 22 w x 18 d x 29½ h in (56 x 46 x 75 cm)
This form is widely recognized as a Josef Hoffmann design because it was utilized in his Fledermaus Cabaret late in 1907. Recent scholarship suggests that Gustav Siegel may have designed this chair two years earlier, though because both designers were employed by Jacob & Josef Kohn it is believed they collaborated on this form. literature: Il Mobile Moderno: Gebrüder Thonet Vienna, Jacob & Josef Kohn , Renzi, ppg. 164-167, 169 Josef Hoffmann Designs , Noever, pg. 40
