Josef Hoffmann was born in Austria in 1870. At the age of 17 Josef Hoffmann started studying classic architecture in Brunn. From there he studied architecture under Karl Freiherr Von Hasenauer at the Academy of Fine arts in Vienna. At that time, Von Hasenauer was one of Europe's most popular architects. After Von Hasenauer's death, Otto Wagner, Europe's most famous 19th century architect took over the class. Josef Hoffmann went onto work for Wagner later in his career.

While Hoffmann's chairs seem to be more recognizable, these nesting tables are the perfect marriage of geometric design and classic functionality. Wiener Werkstatte, first interpreted and produced the nesting table in a variety of versions. Hoffmann's version, a set of four geometric tables using square wood stock was originally designed for the Stoclet Mansion in Bruxelles for the Women's dressing room.
