Each bench features a circular seat supported by four slightly splayed legs, joined at the bottom by a distinctive geometric structure. The clean lines, the architectural character of the construction, and the prominence of elemental forms are reminiscent of Viennese Modernism and the furniture design associated with Hoffmann and the Wiener Werkstätte.

Made of wood and finished in ivory lacquer, they possess a restrained yet graphic aesthetic. Their design allows them to be used not only as occasional seating but also as small side tables, bedroom benches, or decorative elements with a sculptural quality.

Both pieces are preserved in their original condition, retaining an attractive patina. They exhibit surface wear, scratches, minor losses of lacquer, and other signs of use consistent with their age, visible in the photographs. Structurally, they are sound and stable.

Sold exclusively as a pair.
