The Josef Hoffmann No.811 chair fabric version, designed by architect Josef Hoffmann, is a classic example of a vintage bentwood chair. It reflects Viennese café culture from the early 20th century. The design emerged during the Vienna Secession movement. As a result, it blends traditional craftsmanship with modern elegance and captures the spirit of innovation in Vienna at the time.
Our carefully crafted replica honours the original design. We use high-quality ash wood and skilled artisans shape each piece through steam-heating to form the bentwood frame. This process improves durability while preserving the natural beauty of the timber.
Key features include:
- Solid ash wood bentwood frame
- Choice of woven cane or fabric upholstered seat
- Lightweight yet durable construction
- Classic Viennese café chair design
Therefore, the Josef Hoffmann No.811 chair suits both residential and commercial interiors, adding historical character while remaining practical for daily use. Its timeless elegance allows it to fit seamlessly into contemporary and classic interiors.

At benssur, we use top-grade materials designed to be durable and self-sustaining. Beyond that, we believe furniture tells a story through everyday use. Marks and wear add character, making your chair a true part of your home. There’s no need to keep it looking brand new—basic care with common sense is more than enough. For those looking to extend its lifespan, here are some extra tips for the primary materials used.
Timber Care
Timber is a natural material. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, radiators, or other heat sources will inevitably affect its appearance. The most common effects include timber turning yellowish under sunlight or paint losing its colour. While this typically doesn’t cause structural damage, it can result in noticeable changes in colour and surface finish, particularly on solid timber and painted surfaces.
Spills should be wiped immediately with a clean, damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth. Abrasive cleaners should be avoided.
