Vintage chairs by Joseph Hoffmann 1950s, Poland

Nice set of four dining chairs, model 811 Prague, produced by FMG in Poland, 1950s. The chairs are constructed from a curved beech wood frame (bentwood) and a seat and backrest made of cane (webbing). Originally, the chairs were designed by Joseph Hoffmann and produced by Thonet in 1925. This set is a reissue by FMG and Ligna. Three chairs are marked with an FMG sticker; 1 chair has a Ligna Czechoslovakia brand mark. Beautiful set together with the Thonet diningtable or the two other bistro chairs; see other advertisement.

They acquired a Thonet factory and continued the production of iconic bistro chairs during the period 1910-1950. “Ligna” is a former Thonet factory in Prague, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic), nationalized after WWII.
