This bentwood armchair, created by Michael Thonet between 1848 and 1860, is a prime example of the influential designer's work. Thonet pioneered the process of bending wood, a technique that allowed for lightweight yet durable furniture. This chair, with its elegant, curved lines and woven cane seat, embodies Thonet's commitment to both functionality and aesthetics, and exemplifies the popular Biedermeier style of the period. Thonet's chairs, including this one, were produced en masse, making them accessible and affordable to a wider audience, and forever transforming furniture design.
