Item description

The THONET “N.14” chair, the chair par excellence, designed by MICHAEL THONET in 1860, is the best-known and best-selling product of the collection, the great classic, immediately characterized as the bistro chair. Minimalist in its use of material, LE CORBUSIER considered it the best piece of design ever created, composed of only 6 pieces of steam-bent beech wood - thanks to an original and unprecedented method of steam-bending the wood - 10 screws and 2 nuts, easy to transport and assemble, the result of technological research lasting almost 20 years. It is considered one of the first examples of industrial design. The brand that the company affixes is located below the cane seat with Vienna straw. The THONET “N.14”, a famous, authentic and distinctive creation, is exhibited in the major design museums of the world such as the MOMA in N.Y. or the VITRA MUSEUM in GERMANY. The 4 chairs, from the 1980s, have some defects due to use, as illustrated in detail in the attached photos. The warranty card indicates that “…the straw used for the seats of these chairs is a natural product, therefore irregularities in the colour, structure and the slightly rough surface are natural characteristics and proof of authenticity (Echte). The woven straw seat is made up of single strands of straw, joined by glue. It is therefore inevitable that some straw strands will loosen and come off, but they can be fixed using simple commercially available glues."
