Cologne, January, 13-19, 2014
Quality workmanship and cutting edge production technology, timelessness and modern design language, a collection of furniture design classics that is constantly being updated with current pieces and finally family enterprise with a long and eventful history: that is, what Thonet wants to stand for. But how, in 2011, to communicate this Thonet ‘soul’? With its new Essence 01 collection book, the company, located in the North Hess town of Frankenberg, has found the way.
The use of bentwood for excellent seating comfort has always been a hallmark of Thonet‘s seating furniture. Introduced three years ago, Stefan Diez‘s 404 chair series has further developed this theme, using new wood processing techniques and building a bridge between tradition and contemporary interior design. Thonet has extended the successful 404 collection with two new and distinctive designs: the 405 PF and the 406 PF padded armchairs, furniture that provides relaxing seating comfort for the home as well as for hotels, restaurants and bars.
