ABOUT PRODUCTID 30735
The set of four B-811 chairs exemplifies the classic modernism of the 1930s, designed by Josef Hoffmann and manufactured at the Jasienica factory in Poland. The bentwood construction is evident in the fluid lines of the armrests and legs, with a warm, honey-brown frame finished in semi-matte to highlight the natural wood grain. Balanced proportions are achieved through a gently rounded seat and a subtly reclined backrest. The seat and back are upholstered in deep burgundy, matte synthetic leather or vinyl, showing visible signs of wear such as scuffs and scratches, indicating the need for replacement. The overall design remains true to the vintage character, with no visible metal fittings or decorative accents—just the honest beauty of the bentwood technique, reflecting Bauhaus and Viennese Secession aesthetics. The structure is stable, with no cracks or additional screws, only minor age-related marks and a gentle patina. The listed price is for one chair; the set is available as a group of four.
The form of these chairs tells the story of an era when functionality and material integrity went hand in hand. The fluidity of the bentwood lines embodies the spirit of the 1930s, as Viennese Secession elegance merged with the avant-garde simplicity of modernism. Each chair seems to whisper of Viennese cafes, lively table conversations, and the craftsmanship of artisans who valued every curve, allowing the wood to speak for itself without excess ornamentation. The patina and signs of use here are a testament to their history, not a flaw.
The B-811 chairs can be paired with a round veneer
