Michel Karis




Designed by the renowned Austrian architect Otto Wagner, this exceptional armchair embodies the refined elegance and forward-thinking design principles of the Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) movement. Produced by Thonet between 1900 and 1910, this piece blends traditional craftsmanship with modernist ideals, showcasing Wagner’s ability to marry form and function.

The chair features a sleek, minimalist frame constructed from bent beechwood, a hallmark of Thonet’s steam-bending technique. With its gentle curves and geometric shapes, the design reflects Wagner’s vision of practicality combined with aesthetic purity. The armrests, subtly flared and ergonomically shaped, provide both comfort and style, while the slatted backrest offers supportive structure without excess ornamentation—true to Wagner’s approach to design.

This armchair represents a pivotal moment in the transition from the ornate to the more restrained and functional forms that would characterize early 20th-century modernism. Perfect for those who appreciate both architectural history and fine craftsmanship, this piece is ideal for collectors or anyone looking to add a touch of sophistication to their space.
