Viennese pair of armchairs Karl Hofmann & Felix Augenfeld

This extraordinary pair of armchairs originates from the Viennese Modernist movement and is attributed to Karl Hoffmann and Felix Augenfeld. The armchairs are documented in several historical contexts and can be clearly attributed, both stylistically and chronologically, to Vienna in the early 1930s. Particularly noteworthy is the depiction of an armchair almost identical in form and type in a historical interior photograph from the MAK (Museum of Applied Arts). The photograph shows the living room of Muriel Gardina and was designed in 1927 by Karl Hoffmann and Felix Augenfeld. Additionally, comparable armchairs by Otto Prutscher from 1930 are documented, further supporting the chronological classification and design significance of this form. The clear lines, balanced proportions and confident presence make these armchairs a compelling example of the interplay of architecture, furniture design and interior design of that era. They are suitable both for a historically informed interior and for an exciting contrast in contemporary spaces.
