The Miniatures Collection Encapsulates The Entire History Of Industrial Furniture Design – Moving From Historicism And Art Nouveau To The Bauhaus And New Objectivity, From Radical Design And Postmodernism All The Way Up To The Present Day.
Exactly One-Sixth The Size Of The Historical Originals, The Chairs Are All True To Scale And Precisely Recreate The Smallest Details Of Construction, Material And Colour.
The No. 14 Armchair Is One Of The World’S Most Successful, Mass-Produced Products. It Was The Standard Model In Thonet’S Collection Of Bent-Wood Furniture And Is Considered The Typical Viennese Coffee-House Chair. By 1930, 50 Million Of The Chairs Had Already Been Sold. A Modified Version Of The No.14 Is Still Being Produced Today.
Using The Bent-Wood Technique Developed By Michael Thonet, Solid Wood Is Shaped Subjected To Steam Pressure And Shaped Three-Dimensionally In Iron Moulds, This Offers A Great Deal Of Scope For Creativity In The Design. Thonet’S New Packaging System Was Also Revolutionary For The Second Half Of The 18Th Century. The Individual Parts Of The Chairs Were Packed In An Extremely Space-Saving Manner And Then Sent To Their Final Destination, Where They Were First Screwed Together. The Thonet Brothers Combined Industrial Production Processes And A Business-Oriented Approach With Unique Aesthetics, Making A Substantial Contribution To Our Current Concept Of Industrial Design.
