Ton’s August Thonet No. 33 Bentwood Chair with a Cane Back

The No. 33 Bentwood Chair was first introduced in 1902 in Paris. It was initially designed as a writing desk chair since it was inexpensive and quite comfortable.

The No. 33 Bentwood Chair was often used by designers like Le Corbusier and Poul Henningsen. The chair was reintroduced in 1927 at the Werkbund exhibition in Stuttgart, where it became a very popular style.

It is also notable that in the 1927 Deutsche Werkbund exhibition (an exhibition of 33 housing units, directed by Mies Van der Rohe and the first gathering of architects working in the new International Style), half of the 16 architects used Michael Thonet’s designed bentwood chairs. The most popular chair?  The No. 33 Bentwood Chair.  

Highly customizable, the No. 33 Bentwood Chair has a number of seating options and finishes, including stains and lacquer finishes.

The No. 33 Bentwood Chair is made in an original Michael Thonet factory in the Czech Republic.
