Description

1950s rocking chair in Thonet style. It is composed of a black leatherette upholstered seat and back with oval top, above scrolling arms and undulating legs inspired by the Art nouveau style. The original fabric upholstery was replaced.

Michaël Thonet began around 1830 to experiment with bentwood and veneers in furniture. By 1856, he had perfected his technique and prepared for mass production through opening his own factory in Vienna. Thonet focused his work on bending wood. By the mid 1840's he started twisting his laminated pieces, allowing them to be bent in multiple directions. The wood then is rasped to give a round of oval cross section. The impact of Thonet was extraordinary and far reaching. He affected the business of furniture, the avant-garde art establishment, and the design process of many products, from his own day to the present.
