Jacob & Josef Kohn started to make their own bentwood furniture after 1869, when Thonet's patent expired and they became Thonet`s most serious rival. They were associated with renowned designers such as Otto Wagner, Josef Hoffmann, Kolornan Moser, and Hans (brother of Otto) Prutscher. The firm was awarded a Grand Prix at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle. They exhibited in the 1901 Winter Exhibition at the Museum Kunst und Industrie in Vienna, the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative Arts in Turin in 1902, and the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition in Saint Louis in 1904. Kohn also showed at exhibitions in Milan, London, and Bucharest in 1906, at the Kunstschau in Vienna in 1908, and in Buenos Aires and Munich in 1910.
