About the Item

This Austrian Armchair Model No. 420, designed by Marcel Kammerer for Jacob & Josef Kohn in Museal Manner, is a stunning embodiment of the Viennese Secession style, exemplifying the high-quality craftsmanship and timeless design of the early 20th century. Crafted from solid beech wood and beech plywood, with carefully bentwood detailing, the armchair features a rich reddish-dark brown stain, accented by bronzified copper fittings that serve as elegant foot caps. The chair retains its original upholstery, showcasing a combination of springs, kapok, palm fibre and nettle, while the patterned velour fabric with trim adds a touch of luxury. As part of the iconic Model No. 420 set, this piece is a testament to the innovative vision of Vienna’s artistic community, with labels from Jacob & Josef Kohn preserving its authenticity. What sets this armchair apart is its remarkable preservation in its original condition, making it a rare museum-worthy piece that reflects the influence of the Vienna Secession movement. Kammerer’s design, with its flowing lines and refined materials, mirrors the avant-garde aesthetic of the period and remains a striking example of Vienna's Art Nouveau heritage.
