Model no. 728 appears in the J. & J. Kohn catalogs from 1906. A year later, Josef Hoffmann used it to provide seating for the Viennese cabaret Fledermaus, which is why it received particular attention. . Stylist of the chair model: The strict structure of vertical and horizontal lines corresponds to Hoffmann’s geometric concept at the time; even the curved parts are subordinate to the structure. Only the balls - they support and decorate at the same time - break through the severity in a playful way. Its shape - at the same time light and solid, strict and elegant - made the chair a prime example of the modern Viennese style. Very beautiful together with the Hoffmann table.
