Perforated and screen-printed seat, original two-tone variant. Kohn armchair known as “b9”, or “le corbusier”… it was classified as an office armchair when it was created (n°712 at kohn from 1898, then n°9/109 at thonet from 1904), it became a great classic bentwood furniture and a “universal” seat made by all manufacturers in Europe. It was when Corbusier rediscovered it in 1920 that he took that of the architect as his usual name.
