1920's Office chair Model No.3 by Gebrüder Thonet

About the Item

This office/dinning chair was originally designed at the second half of the 19th century, and can be found in the Thonet sales catalogues as model number 3. This particular piece is believed to be produced by the Thonet company in the 1920’s. The design of this chair is similar to model No. 13 and No. 23, but this one was designed without any additional supports between the seat and the backrest. The round seat with the slender circular support and the gentle arc of the legs and armrests are both a trademark of Thonet’s design in the end of 19th and early 20th century. The subtle decoration in shape of a star in the seat is the main decor and gives this model that bit of an extra quality. Thonet offered quite a scale of different decorations for the seats or backrests where possible. These type of chairs were very popular not only for their comfort, but they were also often used by architects in offices or restaurants all around the world. We believe this is due to the essence of their design fitting perfectly into any interior - whether modern or traditional.

    By Gebrüder Thonet Vienna GmbH
    Located in Brooklyn, NY
    The continuous investigation into the long tradition of bent wood has led Gebrüder Thonet Vienna to the development of the Sölden chair, a new design that pays homage to the stylistic codes typical of the ‘30s, an important chapter in the tradition of bent wood that still needs more research. For the first time, Gebrüder Thonet Vienna in fact shift the focus from the 1800s to the ‘30s of last century, a particularly intense period under architectural and artistic side which has seen its success in Art Decò, known in Vienna as Jugendstil.Sölden is, therefore, a chair where bent wood takes on a more contemporary character thanks to the square section and shapes that echo the typical clean design of the Bauhaus period. Peculiarities are the large square upholstered seat and the woven cane backrest, that just like a large fan with a bent-wooden frame, welcomes the back, ensuring great comfort. Realization of the pay off “Heritage designs the future”, chosen by Gebrüder Thonet Vienna for some years to tell the deep bond with the past, Sölden reveals in its traditional spirit a contemporary personality, perfect for refined contract projects. Additional Info: Materials: Beech wood, upholstery.
