Josef Hoffmann Buenos Aires Set By Josef Hoffmann For J&J Kohn, Austria, Early 20th Century

Product Details

Product Description

The Buenos Aires Set, designed by Josef Hoffmann for J&J Kohn in early 20th century Austria, is a prime example of the modern design aesthetic that rejected ornate decoration in favor of simplistic lines. Hoffmann was a pivotal figure in the movement and a key proponent of the Vienna Secession and Wiener Werkstätte, both of which emphasized good design as a way of life. Hoffmann's ability to blend contrasting design elements into a cohesive whole is showcased in the Stoclet Palace, his architectural masterpiece. The Buenos Aires Set, originally designed in 1907 and exhibited at the 1910 Exposición Internacional del Centenario in Buenos Aires, is a rare find in its original condition, without the need for structural repairs or reupholstery.
