The bold Wittman Fledermaus Armchair was designed by Josef Hoffman in 1907. The curved shape, the runners and the wooden spheres on the joints of the Fledermaus Armchair are typical Joseff Hoffmann design style elements.
The chair was especially designed in Vienna in 1907 for the Fledermaus cabaret in Vienna. The Fledermaus chair was then later produced by the Kohn bentwood furniture company. Meticulously handcrafted in Austria, the frame is in lacquered beech wood, with an upholstered seat in a range of fabrics and leathers.
Josef Hoffmann (born 1870) studied architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. He became a professor and a pioneer of modern design, establishing the Vienna Workshop (Wiener Werkstätte). Hoffmann designed architecturally significant buildings. He overcame the duality of tradition and modernity and created works that are valid to this day.
