808 Lounge chair Thonet

An unrivalled piece of design: lounge chair 808 from Thonet 

The lounge chair 808 from Thonet is a top-class piece of seating furniture that achieves its unmistakable, strong character through its play on contrasts. As a sophisticated reinterpretation of the classic wing chair, it radiates both lightness and cosiness. Of course, comfort is not neglected either: the upholstery specially developed for the lounge chair 808 in a loose cushion look ensures cosiness. 

Thonet - over 200 years of tradition 

 The Frankenberg-based manufacturer stands for durability and the irrepressible urge to innovate. Thonet was the first manufacturer to bring bentwood furniture onto the market and to sell tubular steel furniture. Michael Thonet founded his own workshop in Boppard am Rhein in 1819. In the 1830s, he experimented with veneer strips boiled in glue and is therefore regarded as the inventor of "bentwood furniture". in 1842, he was invited to Vienna by the Austrian State Chancellor Prince Metternich and the coffee house culture there laid the foundation for Thonet's later success. With this innovative spirit, it is not surprising that Thonet also cultivated links with the Bauhaus and Marcel Breuer. Thonet realised Breuer's experiments with cold-bent tubular steel and produced the famous cantilever chairs.
