Our gallery offers variety of original Thonet furniture
Gebrüder Thonet were particularly known for their manufacture of bentwood furniture, for which they had developed the first industrial-scale production processes. These replaced previous individual craft skills with an investment in machinery that allowed any worker to produce accurate and repeatable bent components. Although steam bending was long established for pieces such as the Windsor chair, these older pieces had used the bending of a raw billet that would then be shaped to size afterwards.
The company was founded by Michael Thonet in Vienna by transferring the company “Thonet” to his sons under the new name “Gebrüder Thonet” in 1853. In 1856 the brothers expanded with a furniture factory in Koryčany and in the next years, five more Eastern European production sites were established in Bystřice pod Hostýnem (1862), Veľké Uherce (1866), Vsetín (1867), Halenkov (1867) and Radomsko (1880).
