Craftsman Michael Thonet opened his own workshop in 1819, where he made exquisite designs by bending wood. Together with his sons he founded the Thonet Company in 1849 and more than 865,000 bentwood chairs per year were produced in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Russia. Michael Thonet died in Vienna in 1871 and his sons then took over the company. During the 1930s, Thonet was committed to the construction and technology of tubular steel furniture and quickly became the largest manufacturer in the world. The facility in Frankenberg (Germany), founded in 1889, has been the corporate headquarter and production site since then. Thonet is still a family-owned business and is managed today by the 5th generation.
This elegant design has a unique frame that forms both the armrest and backrest, which is bent into its form from a single piece of solid beech wood. This chair has a wicker seat and natural colouring. The design has been regarded as a sculpture as well as a full functional chair as renowned Swiss architect Le Corbusier was fascinated with it and used it in many of his buildings. Le Corbusier states that "...this chair has nobility."
