Softly bending tradition into modernity,
this family of chairs draws from the visual
language of the Thonet world, reviving
bentwood craftsmanship after 150 years.
It carries a disciplined form, while
the elegantly shaped armrests bring
a delicate, feminine touch.
The unique combination offers a balance
of understated contemporary design
and traditional craftsmanship,
making it an ideal choice for modern
cafes and restaurants, while staying
true to the legacy of Thonet’s historic
design approach.
In crafting Benko, two disappearing
artisanal techniques meet.
Bentwood shaping and hand-crafted
pleating for the seat and backrest.
