Jacob & Josef Kohn was an Austrian furniture maker and interior designer in Vienna, founded in 1849 by Jacob Kohn (1791–1866) and his son Josef Kohn (1814–1884). The company became one of the leading bentwood furniture makers in Austria-Hungary, and was a major competitor of Gebrüder Thonet.

Kohn began producing bentwood furniture in the 1850s, using a process that had been developed by Michael Thonet. Bentwood furniture is made by steaming and bending wooden strips into various shapes, which are then held in place with glue or screws. This process allowed for the production of strong and lightweight furniture at a relatively low cost.

Kohn quickly gained a reputation for its high-quality bentwood furniture, and its products were exported all over the world. The company's furniture was known for its simple, elegant designs, and its chairs were particularly popular in cafes and restaurants.
