This bentwood highchair c.1910 was produced during the heyday of Thonet's worldwide success. Thonet's sons joined the family business, and after his death they expanded production to other countries, in order to meet demand. In 1912 the company saw its best sales year, with 2 million units produced and sold around the world. BIOGRAPHY OF Michael Thonet: (b.1796 d.1871, Vienna Austria) a world renowned cabinetmaker, celebrated for the invention of bentwood furniture. Thonet's design and manufacturing success came with light weight, and strong beechwood, bent into curved graceful shapes by forming the wood in hot steam. This enabled him to design entirely novel, elegant, durable and comfortable furniture. This was a complete departure from the heavy, carved designs of the 18th & 19th centuries. Its aesthetic and functional appeal remains to this day.
