Centerpiece bowl c. 1924

Josef Hoffmann's "Centerpiece bowl" (c. 1924) is a striking example of Art Deco design. The bowl, crafted from brass, features a hammered texture that creates a sense of movement and dynamism. The elegant, curvilinear handles and the flared base with vertical fluting add a touch of refinement to the piece. The bowl's simple yet sophisticated design reflects the aesthetic ideals of the Art Deco period, emphasizing geometric forms, luxurious materials, and a focus on functionality. This exquisite object is a testament to Hoffmann's mastery of metalwork and his ability to create functional objects that are also works of art.
