Product description
Fully restored bentwood armchair produced by Thonet and designed by Otto Wagner circa 1900, catalogued as model No. 6048. A refined example of early modern Viennese design, combining structural clarity with elegant craftsmanship.
The armchair features a strong bentwood construction and an original pressed plywood seat, whose subtle wave creases are a natural result of the innovative molding process of the period. The piece has been carefully restored with great respect for its age and character: the structure and seat have been strengthened to ensure long-term stability, while preserving the original patina. A new finish enhances the natural beauty of the wood without compromising authenticity.
Otto Wagner, a leading figure of the Viennese Secession, advocated for functional, honest design free from unnecessary ornament—principles clearly reflected in this armchair. Designed at the turn of the century, when craftsmanship and modernity were merging, this piece embodies the transition from historicism to modern design.
An elegant and historically significant armchair, well suited for both classic and contemporary interiors.
