The unique success story of Thonet began with the work of master carpenter Michael Thonet (1796-1871), which established the transition from manual furniture production to industrial production. Michael Thonet succeeded in making the breakthrough to industrial production in 1859 in Vienna with chair No.14, later called the „Vienna coffee house chair“, for which the innovative technique of bending solid beech wood was used. Chair No.14 cleared the way for Thonet to become a global enterprise, and numerous successful bentwood designs followed. Thonet’s production peaked in 1912: that year, two million units were produced and sold worldwide.
The family company has had its head offices in Frankenberg in the north of Hesse. Today, all bentwood and tubular steel classics as well as the contemporary collections are produced here in a facility with cutting-edge production equipment and a staff of workers with vast experience to draw upon. Thonet still develops innovative products that stand out due to their quality materials and timeless formal language and always takes sustainability and durability under consideration.
The chair is made from a powder-coated steel frame, oiled walnut wood arm rests ( brown leather ) stained black beechwood arm rests ( black leather ) and stitched black butt leather or buffalo brown leather.
Chair: 840mm Tall x 47mm Seat Height x 830mm Deep x 830mm x Wide 650mm
Ottoman: 370mm Tall x 660mm Deep x 55mm Wide
