Michael Thonet: The Pioneer of Bentwood Design


Michael Thonet, born in 1796 in Germany, revolutionized furniture design with his steam-bending technique, enabling the creation of graceful, curved wooden frames. In 1859, he founded the Thonet company, which introduced the iconic No. 14 chair, a global symbol of café culture. Thonet’s commitment to quality and affordability made bentwood chairs accessible, blending craftsmanship with mass production. Restoring these pieces preserves Thonet’s legacy and keeps your furniture functional and beautiful.

The Rich History of Bentwood Chairs


Since the mid-19th century, bentwood chairs have been a hallmark of design innovation. Thonet’s No. 14 chair, launched in 1859, became one of the most produced furniture pieces worldwide, gracing European bistros and homes. Its lightweight, durable design and woven cane seat made it a favourite for its blend of elegance and practicality. Today, bentwood chairs remain iconic, adding timeless charm to modern and traditional spaces alike. Restore Michael Thonet bentwood chairs with our expert cane services Canada-wide.
