Lot Essay
This design by Hoffmann was exhibited in the Austrian Pavilion at the Deutsche Werkbund, Cologne, in 1914 (see reproduction).
The replaced upholstery is a close replica of the fabric with which it would originally have been covered, and has been matched to traces of the original which remained on the chair.
