Dining Chair 209 Natural beech THONET

Edited by Thonet, this elegant bentwood classic is a masterpiece in terms of design and workmanship: the backrest and armrests are made of a single curved cantilever frame composed of a single piece of solid beech. Like the original bentwood chair no. 214, designed by the Thonet brothers in 1900, chair no. 209 consists of only six elements. An extreme concern for aesthetic minimalism combines with the organic shape of the chair, making it reminiscent of a sculpture. The Swiss architect Le Corbusier, who described the chair as having a noble character, used it in many of his buildings, including the Weißenhof in Stuttgart in 1927. Chair 209 is manufactured in the Frankenberg factory in Germany. It has a cane seat and an open backrest.
