THONET is a leading German high-end furniture manufacturer and designer with an almost 200 year old heritage.
Starting with the coffee house chair Nr. 14 – most likely “the world’s most successful chair ever”, THONET has built a unique portfolio of bentwood and tubular steel furniture, with a worldwide reputation for time-less design and high-end manufacturing quality.
Famous bentwood furniture and tubular steel classics from the Bauhaus era, among others designed by Marcel Breuer, Mart Stam und Mies van der Rohe, are complimented by designs from renowned contemporary architects and designers.
