Elegant: 209 bentwood chair from Thonet
A masterpiece of design and manufacture - the 209 bentwood chair from Thonet. Its protruding frame, which forms both the backrest and armrest, is bent into shape from solid beech wood. Like the well-known original model of the bentwood chairs no. 214, the chair consists of only six parts. The aesthetic reduction incombination with the organic form creates an almost sculptural expression.
The Swiss architect Le Corbusier was also enthusiastic about the design and used it in the Weissenhof Estate in Stuttgart in 1927, among other places.

Thonet Brothers
Michael Thonet's sons Franz, August, Josef, Jakob and Michael Jr. joined the company in 1853 and continued to run it after their father's death in 1871. The brothers designed new machines and work processes, further developed existing designs and also created new furniture designs. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the third generation of the family - Karl, Julius, Theodor, Alfred, Victor and Richard - also found their place in the company.
Thonet - 200 years of tradition
The Frankenberg-based manufacturer stands for consistency 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.
Material and format
The 209 chair is 54 cm wide, 57 cm deep and 75 cm high. The seat height is 46 cm. It is made of stained beech wood with a wickerwork seat with a plastic support fabric under the wickerwork seat.
Note on the wickerwork used
The wickerwork used is a natural product. This type of wickerwork is manufactured exclusively in the Far East and is supplied to Thonet as rolled-up material. The wickerwork threads are peeled from the Rotang palm, which grows in East Asia, and glued together. As this is a natural product, the quality and width of the individual threads can vary. Areas that appear blunt are, for example, growth rings on the plant. Growing and harvesting conditions also influence the quality of the weave.
The production of furniture by Thonet is carried out with a high level of technical and manual effort in order to guarantee a corresponding level of quality. For example, every chair with a wickerwork covering is specially tested again before it leaves the factory.
