n 1830 Michael Thonet began his experiments with what became known as "bentwood" furniture. Shortly afterward, Thonet and his sons were mass-producing bentwood furniture with unprecedented standards of quality.

The name Thonet quickly became synonymous with a high standard of exquisite craftsmanship, and Thonet's Company grew into the most famous and imitated furniture company to date.

Thonet continues to innovate within the furniture industry, with distinctive design and superior workmanship. New lines of furniture are continuously being introduced as Thonet grows and experiments, advancing headlong into the new millennium.
