Thonet - Michael Thonet

This is one of the most famous Thonet chairs, designed by Josef Hoffmann, who designed several for Thonet. In the 19th century, Michael Thonet established his first factory to create timeless chairs with the help of the bentwood technique – the method still used today. Thonet's essential breakthrough in production methods allowed him to produce light, strong wood bent into curved, graceful shapes by steaming the wood. This enabled him to design elegant, lightweight, durable and comfortable furniture while creating a unique segment of furniture that stands out still today. Designed in the 1920s, this early example of the no. 811 chair is one of Thonet's most elegant chairs. It features arms for comfort, and the rattan on the back of the chair is expertly and precisely curved for even more comfort. It's a famous Art Deco period "architects chair", and has become one of the most iconic and most sought-after Thonet chairs. This one features its original handwoven rattan, which is still in good shape. Which is, after many many decades, rather a miracle. Will be shipped packed very well.
