These four armchairs originate from the appartment of the painter, graphic artist and furniture designer Leopold Blauensteiner in Schottenfeldgasse in Vienna. Blauensteiner also had his studio in the attic floor of the same house, which he equipped with furniture of his own design and also with furniture by Hoffmann. Such armchairs were also found there, but executed "only" in softwood.
Blauensteiner was closely associated with the artists of the Wiener Secession and the Wiener Werkstätte. In 1903, at the age of 23, he designed a monthly issue of Ver Sacrum, the magazine of the Association of Fine Artists of Austria, i.e. the
Vienna Secession.
