Commode of innovative design inspired by the geometrism of josef hoffmann, the great viennese designer; this commode is attributed to gino maggioni, architect and furniture designer at that time for the atelier borsani in varedo
the austrian architect josef hoffmann was a central figure in the evolution of modern design, and a leader in an aesthetic movement born in europe in the late 19th century that rejected florid, extravagant ornamentation in favor of a new emphasis on simplicity of line. As a founder of the turn-of-the-century wiener werkstätte (in english: the viennese workshops), a design cooperative that produced superbly crafted furniture and housewares, hoffmann was a pioneering practitioner of what would become a fundamental principle of modernism: that good design is a way of life.
hoffmann’s designs embraced the beauty of geometry in pieces that feature grids and angular forms.
