Everybody knows them
Chair 14 and 811
The Number 14 chair was first made in 1859 and changed the perception of
mass-produced furniture forever. Its elegant shape, lightness and strength,
combined with an affordable price, have ensured its enduring popularity. More
than 80 million pieces have been sold to date.
The foundations of the 811 Collection were laid almost a century ago by
renowned Austrian designer Josef Hoffmann, who designed an eye-catching
interplay of curved shapes that together create a very comfortable sitting
experience. The Art Nouveau inspiration is clear here, but still allows us to
combine a cane-weave backrest with an upholstered chair or barstool seat.
