J.&J. Kohn - Josef Hoffmann - Nesting tables - 山毛櫸

Refined in 1905 by Josef Hoffmann, this exquisite set of four nesting tables, identified by the model number 986, stands as a testament to his iconic design. Expertly crafted by Jacob & Josef Kohn, these tables showcase the rich allure of light brown-stained beechwood, elegantly finished to a polished gleam. The smallest table discreetly bears the vintage company label beneath, a touch of history preserved. Preserved in it’s original condition, the set displays faint traces of its journey through time, a testament to its age and utility. Standing at a graceful height of 75 cm, with dimensions of 56 cm in length and 43 cm in width, these tables are an embodiment of timeless sophistication.

References to their significance can be found in the Kohn catalogue of 1906 (p. 52) and Renzi's notable work "Il mobile moderno" (p. 180), both highlighting the enduring impact of this exceptional creation.
