As a fan of the Arts and Crafts movement, he would find the beauty in a carefully produced piece of furniture, but as a Viennese Secessionist, he treaded the fine line between tradition and modern style. He wanted to enhance the role of the modern artist in the design, not the business of large-scale production.<\/p>\n<p>This \u201cSuite of Furniture: Pair of Armchairs, Table, and Settee\u201d, designed somewhere between 1904 and 1908, is a perfect example of Hoffman\u2019s modern style, which did away with the ornamentation of traditional art and instead focused on the beauty of simplicity. The way he utilizes lines in a geometric form allows eyes to move across and down each piece as one work of art, not only as three seats and a table.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-3245 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2019\/10\/02121912\/attach703_20191003_145919-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Attach703_20191003_145919\" width=\"334\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2019\/10\/02121912\/attach703_20191003_145919-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2019\/10\/02121912\/attach703_20191003_145919-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2019\/10\/02121912\/attach703_20191003_145919-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2019\/10\/02121912\/attach703_20191003_145919-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2019\/10\/02121912\/attach703_20191003_145919-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The suite in the DOMA collection is only one model design by Hoffman. This set of furniture has been in the collection for over 30 years and has felt its years. In 2001, the museum, then named the Ball State Museum of Art, experienced a construction-related fire. The smoke from this fire affected many other works in other parts of the museum, including the Hoffman suite, which was professionally cleaned later in the year. Nevertheless, time has worked its\u00a0<span style=\"color:var(--color-text)\">evils on the suite in other ways. The paint on the surface of the table crumbles and cracks.\u00a0 The color has seen more vibrant days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe this piece was his first attempt at this prototype,\u201d wondered docent Ellen Buchanan, who had researched for and led a tour on furniture design on Sept. 28. \u201cJust a baseline without ornamentation for later designs, that would explain the bland color and minimal design.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued to hypothesize, \u201cIt\u2019s interesting because mass produced furniture did not become more popular to the masses until the 1940s because of the industrialization from the war. Maybe it was purposefully designed to be simple and affordable to buy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/a.1stdibscdn.com\/archivesE\/upload\/1121189\/f_131784511552055438076\/13178451_master.jpg?width=768\" alt=\"Josef Hoffmann Seating Group For Sale\" width=\"293\" height=\"293\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Similar, but more elegant, Hoffman designs are still being sold by collectors today. A handful of chair sets with the same half oval shape are listed for sale online. This beech <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/seating\/living-room-sets\/josef-hoffmann-seating-group\/id-f_13178451\/\">seating group<\/a>, also designed during Hoffman\u2019s days at the Wiener Werkstaette (est. 1903), is described as part of the Jugendstil movement, also known as the German Art Nouveau, by the 1stdibs specialists.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Initially, I had to beg to differ from those specialists. Art Nouveau is most popularly known for its organic forms. I thought Hoffman\u2019s style emphasizing geometric shape broke from this key characteristic of Art Nouveau, but I had learned that his style instead revolutionized it. According to Rebecca Seiferle on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theartstory.org\/movement\/jugendstil\/\">theartstory.org<\/a>, \u201cthe organic shapes contrasted with more abstract and geometric forms to create a more complex dynamism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The suite in our exhibits is more than a seemingly mass-produced set of furniture. It is an ode to hand-crafted art and mass-produced products, as it teeters right on the edge of the two.<\/p>\n<p>See the Hoffman suite on display in the Ball Brothers Foundation Gallery.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of the \u201cPair of Armchairs, Table, and Settee\u201d?
