proto avant altro THE BATTLE For MODeRN 1923
Josef Hoffmann, Vienna Secession Armchair #666. ‘This original ‘J.& J. Kohn’ wing back arm chair #666 is an important early example of his work. It shows all the details and style that was to become his signature… the black lacquered bentwood frame, ball joints and bottom skid frame. ‘An important detail also found in Hoffmann leather upholstered furniture is his striking choice of color. It’s not uncommon to find his chairs covered in bright yellow, lime green, lipstick red, blue, lavender or bright white leather.’
