Bentwood chair 214 by Thonet | Moulded seat

The famous coffee house chair is an icon

The famous Thonet 214 coffee house chair is an icon and is still considered the most successful industrial product in the world: it marked the beginning of the history of modern furniture. It was based on a new technique, the bending of solid wood, which Michael Thonet perfected in the 1850s and thus made mass production possible in the first place. And there was an ingenious sales idea: 36 disassembled chairs were packed in a one cubic meter box, sent all over the world and assembled on site.

With its clear, reduced aesthetic, this classic has found its place in a wide variety of environments for over 150 years. It is produced in the Thonet factory in Frankenberg.
