Wittmann Austria - Josef Hoffmann - Rocking chair - Wood - 267 Egg Rocking Chair

Rocking chair originally designed by Josef Hoffmann during the 1920s.


Josef Hoffmann (15 December 1870 – 7 May 1956) was an Austrian architect and designer.
He was among the founders of Vienna Secession and co-establisher of the Wiener Werkstätte.

This is one of his creation: a pioneering work of Modern Architecture Bauhaus and peak of Vienna Secession architecture.

The concept and design of which later led to the creation of the best known Sitzmaschine.

An extremely rare object, worthy of private collections or even a museum.



This lounge chair provides a very ergonomic seating experience, despite its rigid looks. It features an adjustable back and footrest, which can be completely folded away.

This chair was produced by the Wittmann during the early 1970's/80s, based on the original design by Josef Hoffmann and was simply known as the “267” model. My grandfather bought it in Naples, from Novelli Arredi, exclusive distributor of the Wittmann catalog for southern Italy. Together with the chair you will also receive the original complete paper catalogue.
