Thonet 118 Chair

Minimalistic and honest, slender and elegant: Thonet's classic wooden chair 118 lends a subtly stylish look to any dining table or restaurant. The principle of reducing a chair to as few components as possible was introduced by Michael Thonet in the mid-19th century. Chair 118 continues this inherited principle and takes it a step further. The single-piece bentwood frame of the horseshoe-shaped seat is based on the traditional Thonet chair 214; the seat itself is handcrafted from woven rattan.
