ADOLF LOOS
FRIEDRICH OTTO SCHMIDT
FOUR IMPORTANT ARMCHAIRS
designed by: Adolf Loos, for the apartment of Eugen Stössler, 1899
executed by: F. O. Schmidt, model no. 6865
Upholstery renewed and reupholstered with red leather, surface professionally repolished, 3 struts between the legs renewed, 2 chairs with higher saddle, 2 chairs with lower saddle.
Our four chairs are among the most accomplished designs of Adolf Loos. Influenced by English models, he designed them in 1899 for the dining-room of the Stössler apartment. Later he used variations of the same design in a number of his interiors. Since these early chairs were executed without the front arm supports of later versions, they are particularly elegant and airy.
