B 109 folding table Thonet

Multifunctional: B 109 folding table by Thonet

The B 109 table is equally convincing in its function as a console and as a table. When the table top is folded in, it stands against the wall as a console; when the top is unfolded, it becomes a flexible table. Perfectly suited for smaller rooms, this versatile design piece is not only a functional but also a visual highlight.

Thonet - over 200 years of tradition

The Frankenberg-based manufacturer stands for durability and the irrepressible drive for innovation. Thonet was the first manufacturer to bring bentwood furniture onto the market and the first to market tubular steel furniture. Michael Thonet founded his own workshop in Boppard am Rhein in 1819. In the 1830s he experimented with strips of veneer boiled in glue and is therefore regarded as the inventor of "furniture made of bent wood". 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. Given this desire for innovation, it is not surprising that Thonet also cultivated links with the Bauhaus and Marcel Breuer. Thus Thonet implemented Breuer's experiments with cold-bent tubular steel and produced the famous cantilever chairs.

Material and format

When unfolded, the B 109 offers a top surface of 90 cm by 90 cm. As a console, the 19 mm thick MDF board still has a depth of 45 cm. The 25 mm x 2 mm round tube frame is chrome-plated.
