7 original Thonet chairs, dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries (circa 1890-1910), represent an excellent example of historic industrial design and Viennese craftsmanship.
Description of the Set
Model: Famous n. 18, known as the "export" or "bistro" chair, introduced in the Gebrüder Thonet catalog in 1876.
Structure: Made of steam-bent beech wood, a revolutionary technique that allows you to obtain sinuous and resistant curves without complex structural joints.
Backrest: Characterized by the typical double concentric arch design, which gives the chair a sober elegance and greater stability compared to model no. 14.
Seat: Circular, with the classic Vienna straw weaving applied by hand hole by hole along the perimeter of the frame.
Mark of Authenticity: Each chair bears the "THONET" brand imprinted directly on the wood on the internal side of the seat frame, a guarantee of production in the official factories of the Thonet family.
