I've been enjoying this chair for the last couple of years with a slight reluctance to sell it. Josef hoffman was one of the most prominent modern architects and designers of the early 20th century. He was a founder and pioneering member of the viennese succession and wiener werkstatte, creating the modern language of art deco.
