Crafted from solid american black walnut, the ensemble features well-balanced proportions, gently curved armrests, subtly splayed legs and vertically segmented, softly rounded backrests, reflecting a clear interior-architectural approach.

a key and rare feature is the exceptional survival of the original upholstery and original seat cushions. The seating surfaces are supported by original viennese cane work (wiener geflecht). The bench retains its cane seat fully original, while the armchair underwent careful, period-correct restoration due to earlier damage. The seat cushions remain original, with african fibre stuffing and spring support, and the fixed backrest upholstery is entirely original, showing only light, authentic wear.

both pieces are fully upholstered on the reverse, allowing free placement within a dining or salon interior. Conceived as a unified dining ensemble, this set was made for a representative interior rather than mass production, making it a rare and highly collectible example of central european modern dining furniture. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
