About the Item
Pair of Bamboo Side Chairs by Kothgassner, Vienna, circa 1880
Austro-Hungarian design – rare 19th-century craftsmanship – Japonesque influence
Bamboo furniture is not only cherished in faraway places — historically, Vienna itself was enamored with bamboo seating, particularly with pieces from the renowned company Kothgassner. Known for their production of bamboo and so-called “fantasy furniture,” the firm operated a workshop right here on Gumendorferstraße 57. These rare seating pieces, now over 120 years old, have been expertly restored, newly upholstered, and are ready to bring their unique charm into a contemporary setting. With their rich history and refined craftsmanship, they await new owners who appreciate timeless design with a story to tell.
Expertly crafted from natural bamboo, the chairs exhibit refined proportions, intricate joinery, and a graceful patina developed over nearly a century and a half. Their lightweight appearance is complemented by exceptional structural integrity, likely supported by a hidden hardwood subframe beneath the surface detailing.
These chairs capture the spirit of the Viennese taste and cross-cultural design during the fin de siècle period of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Ideal for use as decorative side chairs, in an entryway, or as accent pieces in a refined interior.
