Founded in the early 19th Century by Michael Thonet, Thonet invented the process of steam bending wood under pressure and used this to design the classic bentwood chairs still in production today. In the 19th Century he had a large network of shops throughout Europe and was a huge furniture retailer.
When Thonet’s patents expired in 1869 many competitors entered the market producing identical models but Thonet continued to dominate and still produces to this day. Thonet is arguably the longest surviving and most important chair producer in the world.
