Pair of JACOB & JOSEF KOHN rockers. Austria, second half of the 19th century. Walnut wood. With marks of use. Active xylophages. With remains of labels. Measurements: 105 x 55 x 92 cm. The legs and armrests of this pair of rocking chairs are made up of a single curved structure of organic inspiration. The backrests, for their part, are based on a play of straight and openwork shapes. They were manufactured by the company J & J Kohn, founded by Jacob Kohn (1791-1868) and his son Josef (1814-1884) in 1867 in Wsetin (Moravia), in the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Kohn challenged the privilege of exclusive production of bent furniture held by Thonet, its creator, since 1856; a privilege which, in view of a negative ruling by the authorities, Thonet did not attempt to renew. Kohn soon became a strong competitor in the bent beech wood sector, in which it is a historical benchmark alongside the Thonet brothers. The company's early prominence was demonstrated by its highly acclaimed participation in the Vienna World Exhibition in 1873. From then on, Jacob &Josef Kohn exhibited at the expositions in Philadelphia (1876), Paris (1878, silver medal), Barcelona (1888), Glasgow (1901), Turin (1902), St. Louis (1904), Milan, London and Bucharest (1906) and Buenos Aires and Munich (1910). She was also awarded the Grand Prix at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900. Kohn teamed up with renowned architects and designers of the day, with Otto Wagner, Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser and Hans Prutscher producing designs for her. After an initial phase dedicated to the production of curved chairs in the Thonet line, the company developed, during the eighties, an extensive historicist production. With the turn of the century came the stylistic evolution, focusing since then on the new trends in the decorative arts. In this sense, the chair that Adolf Loos (1870-1933) designed for Kohn in 1899, destined for the Café Museum in Vienna, stands out as the main reference point. Today, works by Jacob & Josef Kohn can be found in museums and institutions all over the world, such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Orsay Museum in Paris.

HANS J. WEGNER (Denmark, 1914 - 2007) for Fritz Hansen. 'China Chair’ in Brazilian Rosewood with natural leather cushion. Model 4283. Designed 1944. Manufactured by Fritz Hansen in 1967, with label. Cushion with signs of wear. Measurements: 81,5 x 58 x 55 cm. With Cites certificate that permit sales within Europe. The China Chair was designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1944. Inspired by the timeless aesthetic of ancient Chinese design in the 17th and 18th century, the China Chair epitomises his lifelong quest to understand the nature of wood and explore its possibilities. In his modern interpretation, he unfolds his talent as a wood craftsman and his flair for expressive and sculptural functionalism. The China Chair shows Wegner’s firm belief that furniture should be beautiful from all angles, as freestanding monuments to the inseparable relationship between handcrafted forms and the fine, natural materials Hans J. Wegner was a leading figure in furniture design, whose ideas contributed to the international popularity of Danish design in the mid-20th century. His work belongs to the modern school, characterized by a special emphasis on functionality. He began his training at a very young age, as an apprentice to the cabinetmaker H. F. Stahlberg. He soon discovered a special taste for the use of wood, and his work in the cabinetmaking workshop allowed him to experiment with different types and designs. At the age of seventeen he completed his apprenticeship, although he remained in the workshop for another three years, until he joined the army. After his military service he entered a technical school, and then the Danmarks Designskole, where he was taught by O. Mølgaard Nielsen, and the Academy of Architecture in Copenhagen. In the Danish capital he came into contact with the Furniture Exhibitions of the Carpenters' Guild, where he began to show his creations in 1927. During these years Wegner collaborated with master cabinetmakers such as J. Hansen, L. Pontoppidan, N. Vodder, J. Kjær, A. J. Iversen, Moos and R. Rasmussen, as well as with the most prominent Danish architects of the time, among them K. Klint, V. Lauritzen and V. Lauritzen. Klint, V. Lauritzen. O. Wanscher and M. Voltelen. The annual exhibitions would give the young cabinetmaker experience of what could be achieved with the combination of design and craftsmanship, which led him to devote himself fully to design. Already in his early pieces, Wegner showed his interest in the concept of "stripping antique chairs of their outer style and showing them in their pure structure." Throughout his career, the designer was awarded prizes such as the Lunning Prize in 1951, the Grand Prix de Milan at the Milan Triennale of the same year, the Prince Eugene Medal in Sweden and the Danish Eckersberg Medal. In 1959 he was appointed honorary royal designer for industry by the Royal Society of Arts in London. Currently his designs are present in collections such as the MoMA in New York or Die Neue Samlung in Munich. Wegner has been referred to as the "King of Chairs" for his proliferated work designing seating. In his lifetime he designed over 500 different chairs, over 100 of which were put into mass production and many of which have become recognizable design icons.
