The Thonet chaise longue is an iconic piece of furniture designed by Michael Thonet, a German master cabinetmaker and industrialist. Thonet is best known for inventing the revolutionary technique of autoclave bending in 1855, which enabled the mass production of solid, affordable furniture. This innovation marked a turning point in the furniture industry, enabling high-quality bentwood furniture to be manufactured on a large scale.
The Thonet chaise longue is distinguished by its elegant, functional design. It is generally made from bent beech, a robust and durable material. The backrest is often adjustable in inclination, offering several positions for optimum comfort. The seat is often caned, a traditional technique that adds both aesthetic appeal and comfort.
These loungers are foldable, making them practical for storage and transport.
The Thonet chaise longue is not only a functional piece of furniture, but also a timeless piece of design that has stood the test of time. It embodies the innovation and craftsmanship of Michael Thonet, whose creations continue to be appreciated and collected today.
