Bent, solid and laminated beech, woven cane Production: Thonet, Austria Regarded as the most successful industrial product of the 19th century, the Thonet Chair No. 14 – nicknamed the ‘Consumer Chair’ – owed its popularity to cheapness, lightness and strength. Thonet struggled for years to produce a version of No. 14 which would be suitable for mass-production and succeeded in 1859. Early versions were glued together from laminated wood but, by 1861 Thonet succeeded in making the chair in solid wood with screws, not glue. Thonet continued to improve the design and, by 1867, the Consumer Chair could be made from six pieces of bentwood, ten screws and two washers. By 1870 the Consumer Chair was Thonet’s cheapest model selling for 3 Austrian florins.]]> 2016-08-28 10:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/stencanevall/stolardesignklassiker/wish/120175169
