Vienna Secession J. & J. Kohn 1880/90 Bench No. 11
Among bentwood sofas, Kohn’s model No. 11 is a very well-balanced piece in terms of aesthetics and comfort. Although catalogue number 11 corresponds to a chair by Gebrüder Thonet, that firm never made an equivalent settee with the same number. Kohn took advantage of this gap to design this rather comfortable two-seater. It first appeared in the catalogue in 1882, but it was not until 1885 that the entire No. 11 set was presented: sofa, chair and armchair, characterised by an oval piece (or three in the case of the sofa) set into the back. The sofa has a small oval piece in the centre framed by two crossed bars forming curved shapes that give the piece a modernist air.
