The Josef Hoffmann No.811 chair cane 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 combines traditional craftsmanship with modern elegance and captures the spirit of innovation in Vienna at the time.

This Viennese café chair features a graceful bentwood frame, highlighting both sleek form and functional elegance. Its balanced proportions make it an iconic designer timber dining chair.

Our carefully crafted replica honours the original design. We use high-quality ash wood and skilled makers shape each piece using steam-heated bending techniques. This process improves durability while preserving the natural beauty of the timber.

Key features include:

  • Solid ash wood bentwood frame
  • Woven cane seat and backrest
  • Lightweight yet durable construction
  • Classic Viennese café chair design

Overall, the Josef Hoffmann No.811 chair cane version works beautifully in both residential and commercial interiors, adding historical charm while remaining practical for everyday use. Its timeless style allows it to fit seamlessly into contemporary and classic interiors.

Usage Type

Designed for Indoor Use

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.

Warranty

You’ll automatically be covered by our benssur Warranty, protecting you from any rare manufacturing defects. Enjoy 2 years of coverage for all chairs and 3 years for tables!
