Jacob & Josef Kohn, Vienna, '712' armchair or 'Corbusier armchair', c. 1902, H. 81.5 x 55 x 50 cm. Beech wood, bent beech wood, plywood, stained dark, embossed. Marked: remnant of a manufacturer's sticker, indistinct branding stamp., J & J. Kohn, The Catalog of 1916, reprint, Munich 1980, p. 61. This chair became famous when Le Cobusier used it to seat his 'Pavillon de l'Esprit Nouveau' at the 'Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs' in Paris in 1925; the chair was also often to be seen in Le Corbusier's later houses and furnishings; colloquially it is therefore often called the Corbusier chair.
