N. 1

by Michael Thonet

Formas flexibles, ligeras y elegantes. En este asiento, diseñado por Michael Thonet en 1849, la técnica de la haya maciza curvada al vapor se resalta con un florecimiento de curvas. Se esboza ya la filosofía conceptual basada en la simplificación de los elementos compositivos en previsión de una producción en serie que une solidez, belleza y adaptabilidad.

Michael Thonet

Michael Thonet (Boppard 1796 – Vienna 1871) trained as a cabinetmaker, specialising in geometric marquetry. A furniture designer and producer, in 1830 he began to experiment with using bent wood to make chairs, and in 1841 succeeded in filing a patent for a new process treating strips of beech with steam or boiling them in water and glue with minimal costs to provide an innovative, very light, flexible and durable material. In 1849 he moved to Vienna, opened a factory that manufactured chairs, coffee tables, clothes racks, etc., marked by their simple and linear design, with immediate and long-lasting success. Thonet opened new factories in Moravia and in Hungary to increase production and opened sales showrooms in the main European and American cities.
