A charming pair of vintage café chairs, model no. 811 — widely known as the Prague Chair — originally designed by Josef Hoffmann for Thonet. These examples were produced by FMG in Poland during the 1960s, faithfully following Hoffmann’s timeless design.

 

Featuring classic bentwood frames with woven rattan cane backs and seats, these chairs strike a beautiful balance between elegance and practicality. Their understated design allows them to sit effortlessly within both traditional interiors and contemporary spaces.

 

Both chairs show honest signs of age-related wear, enhancing their warm patina and vintage character, while remaining structurally sound and ready for everyday use.
