Description
For the 1900 Paris World Exhibition, Professor Josef Hoffmann designed a fully furnished dining room, including two smaller pillar cabinets.
The upper cabinet doors are fitted with beveled glass and delicate muntin elements that evoke architectural window designs – a motif frequently found in Hoffmann’s work. Below this is a mirror that lends visual depth to the piece while also serving as a display surface. The lower section of the pillar cabinet consists of a drawer and a cleverly designed “dummy front” that imitates multiple drawers. This timeless piece of furniture can still be seamlessly integrated into a modern living space more than a hundred years later.
