The Thonet Principle
It is a success story with many facets.
The starting point was a new technique – the bending of solid wood –
that Michael Thonet perfected during the 1850s, enabling mass production.
Added were new and simple aesthetics and a low price, which represented
a revolution in interior design: suddenly, homes, restaurants and cafés
looked entirely different; they were lighter and less massive.
