Baroque Dining Chairs in American Walnut and Velvet by Ludwig, Lajos Kozma for Budapest Werkstatte Workshop, Hungary, Set of 2

Collector’s rarity!
The dining chairs have been completely restored, so the grain of the black walnut wood and the brilliant shape of the chairs are even more effective than if they were unglazed.
The nearly 100-year-old pieces are even suitable for everyday use. The seats are removable, as we are used to at Kozma, and upholstered with high-quality Italian blue silk velvet.

Lajos Kozma, architect, industrial artist and graphic designer, art university teacher. Probably the greatest hungarian designer ever:

Josef Hoffmann wanted him to join the Vienna Werkstatte- workshop, but due to his individuality and peculiar way of seeing, he did not accept this, which is why he founded his own workshop in Budapest.(hímnemű) In 1913, he became a teacher at the School of Industrial Design and founded the Budapesti Műhely, which aimed to reform the art of housing. His furniture designs became a concept in the 1920s under the name “Kozma-baroque”, he was awarded the Grand Gold Medal of Applied Arts for his furniture in 1925, but his style already pointed in the direction of art deco.

Lajos Kozma furniture and interiors can be found in many museums around the world, in books, including the German edition of Innendekoration books.
