The furniture pieces of the 511 series, which include a desk, chairs, armchairs, a settee and a rocking chair, are amongst the most elegant Jugendstil furniture produced by Gebrüder Thonet. Nevertheless, it has not yet been possible to determine their designer. It is, however, assumed that these pieces were created by Marcel Kammerer. They were most definitely not authored by Josef Hoffmann, as he worked with Thonet’s competitor J. &. J. Kohn.
