Designed in 1910, the Kubus Armchair by Wittmann is a classic example of early 20th century furniture design.
The designer, Josef Hoffmann, utilised strict geometrical lines and quadratic themes in the design of the seat. These are hallmarks of design for which he is known for today.
Mathematically inspired and beautifully handcrafted, the tactile cushioned cubes surrounding a solid-wood structure, are upholstered in luxurious Italian leather. The superior comfort and stylish modernist silhouette make the Kubus Armchair a show-stopping icon of furniture design.
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.
