Originating from a woodworking shop founded in 1819, THONET is renowned as a leading German furniture brand, known for its development of bentwood techniques and establishment of mass production systems. Over 200 years since its founding, the company continues to evolve, and has now introduced a new chair, the "118."

The "118" inherits the traditional methods and details of THONET's iconic "214" chair, blending them with the philosophy of designer Sebastian Herkner.


In developing this chair, Herkner embraced the traditional bentwood craftsmanship, still executed by hand by artisans today. He conducted numerous studies to align the chair with users' lifestyles and daily rhythms. Furthermore, aiming for a chair for everyday use by many, rather than for a select few, he incorporated elements from the "Frankfurt Chair," which was used in German schools and homes in the 1930s.



In addition to its bentwood construction, the rattan seat is designed to match the curve of the backrest, ensuring a comfortable seating experience. It is available in natural beech, lacquered finishes, and a range of stain colors. This chair offers a blend of elegance and practicality, making it an approachable and versatile addition to various living spaces.
