Hoffmann's design for the Cabaret Fledermaus in 1907 is one of the few Kohn models that can definitively be ascribed to Hoffmann. The same design was exhibited by him in the country house interior at the Kunstschau in 1908 and remained one of the firm's most popular models. This example has the original colour scheme of the Fledermaus interior, with white painted frame, black supports and red seat.
