In 1998, the MAK received this half-height, three-door cabinet as part of a donation of furniture designed in 1933 by Viennese architect Ernst Schwadron for the home of Paul (1906–1992) and Johanna (1915–1997) Dósza. Like the Jewish architect Schwadron, the Jewish Dósza family had to leave Vienna in 1938; they succeeded in escaping the National Socialists by fleeing to New York. The donation of this furniture—and its consequent return from American exile to its home city of Vienna—served to close a central cultural-historical gap in the collection and in Austria’s historical consciousness. The cabinet pictured here, with its simple, stereometric body veneered in a dark but active wood and supported by four brightly chrome-plated metal feet, is an outstanding example of the specifically Viennese version of Classical Modernism from the interwar period.
