JOSEF HOFFMANN (Brtnice, Czech Republic, 1870 - Vienna, 1956).Jugendstil side cabinet, ca. 1900.Mahogany wood.Measurements: 113 x 31 x 26 cm.An auxiliary piece of furniture in the Jugendstil style, Central European modernism, made of mahogany wood and characterised by the clean lines and the play of geometric volumes typical of Jugendstil, which is combined with a vertical structure, based on closed and open spaces, which is common to the whole of Europe at this time. The base appears open, raised on two stipe legs with horizontal carved grooves, with a closed moulded base, like a plinth, and a shelf at mid-height. The central area is occupied by a closed cupboard with a translucent dark glass door, moulded with an irregular organic-looking irregular finish. Finally, above the cupboard is an open shelf with a barred base and truncated pyramid-shaped finials to match the legs.An architect and industrial designer, Josef Hoffmann studied at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna, where he was a pupil of Carl Freiherr von Hasenauer and Otto Wagner, whose theories of functional, modern architecture would profoundly influence his work. He won the Prix de Rome in 1895, and the following year he joined Wagner's office, collaborating with Olbrich on some projects for the Metropolitan. He established his own office in 1898, and taught at the School of Decorative Arts in Vienna between 1899 and 1936. He was also a founding member of the Viennese Secession. In 1900 he travelled to London, where he came into contact with the English school and discovered Mackintosh. On his return, he set up a workshop for the production of objects based on designs by artists of the Secession, and thus the Wiener Werkstätte was born, a workshop which had a great influence on 20th-century industrial design. By 1903, production began on an international scale. In the course of his life, Hoffmann produced a variety of projects for buildings and furnishings, and exhibited his creations all over the world. He is currently represented in the MAK and the Leopold Museum in Vienna, the Metropolitan and MoMA in New York, the Brohan in Berlin, the Courtauld Institute in London and the Victoria & Albert in London, among many others.

JOAN BUSQUETS I JANÉ (Barcelona, 1874 - 1949).Pair of modernist bedside tables, ca. 1900.Light walnut wood with carved and gilded decorations. Marble top and metal handles.Measurements: 127 x 45 x 41 cm.Pair of modernist coffee tables designed by Joan Busquets, whose organicist structure contains a lower compartment closed with a folding door, followed by an intermediate openwork hollow and a final upper surface under which there is a narrow drawer. The upper part consists of a reddish marble top, with veins in different shades, on which rests a high backrest with a small shelf supported by two small corbels. It stands on low feet, the fronts of which have a typically Art Nouveau cut-out and sinuous profile. These front feet are decorated with gilt vegetal motifs. Both the door and the drawer and back of the side tables are decorated with stems and mouldings of marked eloquence, typical of Joan Busquets' cabinetmaking, which converge in rosettes, coup de fouet and other floral motifs, carved in high relief, which stand out for their volume and quality.A furniture designer and decorator, Joan Busquets is now considered one of the most representative figures of Catalan Modernisme. He began his training in the family workshop and went on to study at the Llotja School in Barcelona, where his teachers were Guitart and Lostaló. In the academic year 1895-96 he was awarded a scholarship which enabled him to travel around Spain, and which he obtained thanks to a project for a Renaissance-style bookcase-cabinet. He exhibited furniture projects for the first time at the Barcelona Exhibition of 1896. Joan Busquets' workshop was one of the most outstanding in Modernista Catalonia and is today, together with the production of Gaspar Homar, the most representative example of Catalan Modernista furniture and decoration. He was president of the Foment de les Arts Decoratives between 1918 and 1921, and supervised the manufacture of the furniture for Gaudí's Casa Calvet. Works by Busquets can currently be found in the National Art Museum of Catalonia, the Güell Palace in Barcelona, the National Museum of Decorative Arts and the Museum of Catalan Modernism in Barcelona, among others, as well as in various important private collections.
