About the Item

A pair of armchairs with tufted black leather and teak wood legs designed by Prof. Johannes Spalt for Wittmann, Austria, manufactured in midcentury, circa 1960. The thin legs create the effect of almost free floating pieces. The chairs are in very good condition and ready to use. The chairs are in the style of the chairs from Florence Knoll. About Prof. Johannes Spalt: Johannes Spalt attended the 'Gewerbeschule' Salzburg and studied architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with Clemens Holzmeister from 1949. He founded 'Arbeitsgruppe 4' (engl. 'Working group 4') together with Wilhelm Holzbauer, Friedrich Kurrent, and with Otto Leitner which left in 1953. The grouped was named afterwards the '3/4-ler'. In 1969 he ran his own studio in Vienna, in partial cooperation with Friedrich Kurrent. From 1973-1990 Johannes Spalt was Professor of Interior design and Industrial Design at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and from 1975-1979 also its rector. In addition to designs and realized buildings, Spalt created numerous furniture designs, for example for Wittmann Möbelwerkstätten. Johannes Spalt organized with Max Kurrent the first Adolf Loos exhibition: 1962 in Paris and 1964 in Vienna in the new museum of the 20th century. In 1965 the first Josef Frank exhibition took place in Vienna.
