    JOSEF HOFFMANN (Brtnice, Czech Republic, 1870 - Vienna, 1956). Large Jugendstil sideboard; Vienna, around 1900. Oak wood and bronze.

    Est: €3,500 - €4,000

    JOSEF HOFFMANN (Brtnice, Czech Republic, 1870 - Vienna, 1956). Large Jugendstil sideboard; Vienna, ca. 1900. Oak wood and bronze. Measurements: 264 x 175 x 63 cm. Part of a set, with lots 35047179, 35047196, 35047197 and 35047198. Large sideboard in Jugendstil style designed by Josef Hoffmann, an outstanding architect and designer of the Viennese school of the late 19th and early 20th century. Made of oak wood, its structure is based on the interplay between open and closed spaces, and it is decorated with decorative bronze applications, mainly cut-out profile plates that recall the antique fittings of medieval furniture. It consists of two sections, the lower one closed and the upper one open, like a sideboard. In the lower section, with a sloping profile topped by a high cornice supported by curved corbels, there is a structure that also evokes oriental furniture, another of the great influences of modernism throughout Europe. This lower body has two doors and two drawers, all with smooth fronts, adorned with long hinges and decorative ironwork, with cut-out profiles with sinuous lines, which combine the modernist movement with a certain medieval character. The upper body is organised in two levels, and is crowned by a curved lowered pediment, with refined lines in the Jugendstil style. Below is an open space, with a mirror at the back and two simple pillars on the fronts. Above, the central cupboard is flanked by open spaces, also with a mirror at the back, conceived as gazebos raised on pillars. An architect and industrial designer, Josef Hoffmann studied at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna, where he was a pupil of Carl Freiherr von Hasenauer and Otto Wagner, whose theories of functional, modern architecture would profoundly influence his work. He won the Prix de Rome in 1895, and the following year he joined Wagner's office, collaborating with Olbrich on some projects for the Metropolitan. He established his own office in 1898, and taught at the School of Decorative Arts in Vienna between 1899 and 1936. He was also a founding member of the Viennese Secession. In 1900 he travelled to London, where he came into contact with the English school and discovered Mackintosh. On his return, he set up a workshop for the production of objects based on designs by Secession artists, and the Wiener Werkstätte was born, a workshop that had a great influence on 20th-century industrial design. By 1903, production began on an international scale. In the course of his life, Hoffmann produced a variety of projects for buildings and furnishings, and exhibited his creations all over the world. He is currently represented in the MAK and the Leopold Museum in Vienna, the Metropolitan and MoMA in New York, the Brohan in Berlin, the Courtauld Institute in London and the Victoria & Albert in London, among many others.

    JOSEF HOFFMANN* (Brtnice 1870 - 1956 Vienna) Bundle of 16 paper cuttings coloured paper in different colors, each about 21 x 21 cm SCHÄTZPREIS / ESTIMATE °€ 1000 - 2000 STARTPREIS / STARTING PRICE °€ 1000 Josef Hoffmann, a student of Otto Wagner, was one of the central figures of Viennese Modernism as an architect and designer. In 1903, together with Koloman Moser and the industrialist Fritz Waerndorfer, he founded the Wiener Werkstätte (WW), modeled on the British Arts and Crafts Movement and under the influence of Viennese Art Nouveau. Hoffmann, a friend of Gustav Klimt and Anton Hanak, among others, remained one of the WW's most important designers until its bankruptcy in 1932. The Wiener Werkstätte, also referred to as Wiener Werkstatt, Vienna Workshop, Wiener Werkstaetten or Wiener Werkstätten, aimed to unite the entire spheres of human life in design, in the sense of a Gesamtkunstwerk. Its customers were mainly artists and the upwardly mobile Jewish upper and middle classes. Josef Hoffmann's acquaintance with Berta Zuckerkandl led to the first major commission: the Purkersdorf Sanatorium, planned by Viktor Zuckerkandl, Berta's brother-in-law, west of Vienna. Among the WW staff were about a dozen women who were crucial to the change in style from Art Nouveau to Art Déco in the 1920s, e.g. Vally Wieselthier, Gudrun Baudisch, Reni Schaschl, Hilda Jesser and Susi Singer. Josef Hoffmann survived the Nazi period unscathed despite hostility from the Nazi architectural ideologist Paul Schmitthenner. In 1939, the Reichskammer der bildenden Künste (Reich Chamber of Fine Arts) commissioned him to further develop the Wiener Kunsthandwerksverein (Vienna Arts and Crafts Association, a Nazi successor organization to the Austrian Werkbund) as its artistic director. To this end, an "Versuchswerkstätte für schöpferische Formgebung“ (Experimental Workshop for Creative Design") was founded in 1941, where young artisans furthered their education under Hoffmann's guidance. In this way, Hoffmann tried to gain influence on the culture of taste. Hoffmann wrote this report in 1942. After the war, in 1948, Hoffmann founded the Österreichische Werkstätten as the successor to the Wiener Werkstätte und Werkbund (ÖWB), of which he had been a member until 1920.

In 1903, together with Koloman Moser and the industrialist Fritz Waerndorfer, he founded the Wiener Werkstätte (WW), modeled on the British Arts and Crafts Movement and under the influence of Viennese Art Nouveau. Hoffmann, a friend of Gustav Klimt and Anton Hanak, among others, remained one of the WW's most important designers until its bankruptcy in 1932. The Wiener Werkstätte, also referred to as Wiener Werkstatt, Vienna Workshop, Wiener Werkstaetten or Wiener Werkstätten, aimed to unite the entire spheres of human life in design, in the sense of a Gesamtkunstwerk. Its customers were mainly artists and the upwardly mobile Jewish upper and middle classes. Josef Hoffmann's acquaintance with Berta Zuckerkandl led to the first major commission: the Purkersdorf Sanatorium, planned by Viktor Zuckerkandl, Berta's brother-in-law, west of Vienna. Among the WW staff were about a dozen women who were crucial to the change in style from Art Nouveau to Art Déco in the 1920s, e.g. Vally Wieselthier, Gudrun Baudisch, Reni Schaschl, Hilda Jesser and Susi Singer. Josef Hoffmann survived the Nazi period unscathed despite hostility from the Nazi architectural ideologist Paul Schmitthenner. In 1939, the Reichskammer der bildenden Künste (Reich Chamber of Fine Arts) commissioned him to further develop the Wiener Kunsthandwerksverein (Vienna Arts and Crafts Association, a Nazi successor organization to the Austrian Werkbund) as its artistic director. To this end, an "Versuchswerkstätte für schöpferische Formgebung“ (Experimental Workshop for Creative Design") was founded in 1941, where young artisans furthered their education under Hoffmann's guidance.

In 1903, together with Koloman Moser and the industrialist Fritz Waerndorfer, he founded the Wiener Werkstätte (WW), modeled on the British Arts and Crafts Movement and under the influence of Viennese Art Nouveau. Hoffmann, a friend of Gustav Klimt and Anton Hanak, among others, remained one of the WW's most important designers until its bankruptcy in 1932. The Wiener Werkstätte, also referred to as Wiener Werkstatt, Vienna Workshop, Wiener Werkstaetten or Wiener Werkstätten, aimed to unite the entire spheres of human life in design, in the sense of a Gesamtkunstwerk. Its customers were mainly artists and the upwardly mobile Jewish upper and middle classes. Josef Hoffmann's acquaintance with Berta Zuckerkandl led to the first major commission: the Purkersdorf Sanatorium, planned by Viktor Zuckerkandl, Berta's brother-in-law, west of Vienna. Among the WW staff were about a dozen women who were crucial to the change in style from Art Nouveau to Art Déco in the 1920s, e.g. Vally Wieselthier, Gudrun Baudisch, Reni Schaschl, Hilda Jesser and Susi Singer.
