Josef Hoffmann Vienna Secession Gueridon With Glass Plate Model 728 From The Fledermaus Cabaret

Product Details

Product Description

The Gueridon design with glass plate, model 728 from the Fledermaus Cabaret by Josef Hoffmann for Kohn- Austria dating back to circa 1900 is a testament to the designer's architectural prowess. Hoffmann is undeniably one of the key influencers of modern design in Europe during the late 19th century, where he revolutionized aesthetics by prioritizing simplicity of line instead of bloated ornamentation. He was a co-founder of the Vienna Secession, a visionary group committed to upending artistic conservatism in Austria. Furthermore, as a significant figure in the establishment of Wiener Werkstätte, a design collective that produced superbly crafted furniture and housewares, Hoffmann underscored the fundamental principle of modernism by exemplifying that good design is a way of life. Hoffmann's exceptional talent lies in his ability to harmoniously amalgamate seemingly disparate design elements and create unified and cohesive pieces. His acclaimed architectural masterpiece, the Stoclet Palace in Brussels, is a prime example of this skill, where he blends simple geometric forms with intricate naturalistic design details to imbue the space with charm and geniality.
