The Michael Thonet No. 60 Bentwood Stool can trace its origins back to the mid-1800s.  This reproduction of the bentwood stool uses the traditional styles that one commonly associates with the designs of Michael Thonet.
Though the invention of the bentwood technique should be attributed to the American Samuel Gragg, it was Michael Thonet that experimented with the technique to an extreme level and made the bentwood chair one of the great commercial successes of all time.  An infatuation with reducing the number of pieces used in the construction of furniture, Michael Thonet created techniques of bending wood on multiple planes.  The techniques led to the development of phenomenal chair successes such as the legendary No. 14 and No. 18. bentwood chairs.
In 1861 Michael Thonet found the perfect location to build a new mass-production bentwood factory.  Eastern Moravia (Czech Republic) provided the optimal conditions of large beechwood forests, inexpensive labor, and a railway to transport bentwood furniture inexpensively throughout Europe.  This company's continual operation links the tradition of bentwood chairs to the modern world of interior design.
Using the same techniques for over 150 years, this bentwood furniture maker still follows old-world processes for manufacturing.  The bentwood furniture you receive now is essentially the same as one might receive in a home in Austria in the 1800s.
Made in the Czech Republic by Ton.
