These chairs, also knows as Recreation Josef Hoffmann, are attributed to both Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser. Johannes Spalt (1920-2010), professor at the University für angewandte Kunst in Viena, finished his research with the conclusion that it was Josef Hoffmann's design and not Koloman Mosers'.
The Purkersdorf Sanatorium was built 1904/05 by architect Josef Hoffmann, a disciple of Otto Wagner, the founder of modern architecture in Austria. It is an example of architecture from the Vienna Secession and paved the way for modern architecture.
Decoration outside the building is extremely discreet. Inside there are fascinating contrasts between the severity of the architecture and the more decorated interior. The intended purpose of the Sanatorium pulled for a level of hygienic sobriety which helped Hoffmann in his design. The black and white colour scheme and quadratic motifs were a continuum throughout the foyer of Hoffmanns Purkersdorf sanatorium, including chairs and tables.
