Pair of Josef Hoffmann 811 Drevounia chairs

This pair of Drevounia chairs, based on Josef Hoffmann’s 1920s design, showcases timeless elegance with simple lines and bentwood craftsmanship from Bystrice pod Hostynem.

Made in the 1970s by the Drevounia Company, these chairs feature bent beechwood frames with cane insets on the seat and back, maintaining Hoffmann’s classic No. 811 profile. The black-painted surface has been refreshed while preserving signs of use, and both chairs are stamped underneath, confirming their authenticity.

In very good condition, these chairs retain their original handwoven rattan, which remains taut and well-maintained. With their generous, comfortable seat base and iconic design, they are a stunning example of vintage craftsmanship, blending form and function for any space.

These are elegantly comfortable and suitable as vintage dining chairs or statement pieces in any setting. They remain faithful to Hoffmann’s modernist design while embodying a legacy of superior Czechoslovak craftsmanship.

CONDITION 


Please bear in mind that all our vintage and retro items have had a life before you purchase them (sometimes quite a long one!) therefore they will show signs of wear and use, these may include knocks, dents and scratches, bumps and scuffs which are commensurate with age and previous use. We never sell items that we wouldn’t be happy to have in our own homes and provide images detailing any significant damage or unusual wear. Please carefully read the details and examine the images prior to purchase. All our items have been thoroughly cleaned and de-greased, re-oiled and polished (where necessary) and are fit for purpose. If you’re unsure, or would like some more information, please contact us, we’re always happy to help! 



OUR DELIVERY POLICY


THERE ARE EXCLUSIONS TO OUR FREE DELIVERY POLICY - PLEASE SEE BELOW OR IF IN ANY DOUBT, MESSAGE US DIRECTLY, INCLUDING YOUR DELIVERY POSTCODE.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU PURCHASE FROM AN OFF-SITE ADVERT FOR ETSY, FREE DELIVERY WILL NOT APPLY (AS WE ARE CHARGED CONSIDERABLY MORE). TO AVOID THIS, PLEASE OPEN A NEW BROWSER WINDOW AND GO DIRECT TO OUR ETSY-POWERED WEBSITE LIGHTFOOTANDLOWE.COM 

FREE DELIVERY DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY APPLY TO ANY SALE ITEMS.



Safely delivering items you purchase in a timely fashion is both our priority and also one of the most challenging aspects of our business.

Wherever possible, we try to offer free kerbside delivery, contact-free, to most mainland UK addresses, either by ourselves or via our dedicated, trusted, couriers. This ensures that your purchases arrive in exactly the condition they were in when you purchased them, as accurately described on our site. You should expect delivery to be within 1 to 3 weeks of you placing the order. We will contact you directly with a firm delivery date and advise you in advance of a two hour delivery window. 

Exclusions to free delivery apply, including where tolls or congestion zone fees apply, for which there will be an additional charge. 

Free delivery does not apply to locations a long way away from our location in Cambridge or to areas of mainland UK not routinely covered by our trusted couriers - if this applies to your purchase, we will simply charge you what we are charged for delivery, less any Etsy fees, and notify you of this as soon as practicable after the sale goes through.

We are able to package and export items beyond mainland UK and have done so as far afield as Hong Kong and New Zealand. We regularly export to Northern Ireland and Eire and the majority of Europe. Please contact us directly for a tailored quotation.

When ordering, please supply us with your mobile ‘phone number, so we may liaise directly with you regarding delivery. Please advise if there are any delivery restrictions that will apply (such as anything other than ground floor access, parking and access restrictions etc.). We reserve the right to charge for deliveries outside of our standard terms.

Please note that if we are unable to deliver on a pre-arranged day, you will be charged a flat fee of £50 for re-delivery.
