Elegant set of four bentwood chairs produced by J. & J. Kohn, featuring a refined curvilinear structure in steam-bent beechwood with original woven cane seats. The design is distinguished by the sculptural open backrests composed of elongated oval loops, a hallmark of early 20th-century Central European bentwood furniture. The chairs display the high level of craftsmanship and technical innovation that characterized Kohn’s production during the late Austro-Hungarian period, closely associated with the Vienna Secession and early modern design culture. The warm patinated wood contrasts beautifully with the natural cane, giving the set both visual lightness and structural elegance. Ideal as dining chairs or as accent seating, these pieces embody the transition from historicist styles to modern design and remain highly collectible examples of early bentwood furniture. Austria-Hungary, circa 1900–1910.
