Product description
A vintage set of 4 Thonet 235 F bentwood dining armchairs, designed by Hartmut Lohmeyer for Thonet and produced in Germany, likely in the 1980s. With their dark bentwood frames, rounded armrests, curved upholstered backs and original patterned fabric seats, these vintage Thonet dining chairs combine classic bentwood craftsmanship with a quietly postmodern 1980s silhouette.

The chairs have a refined rounded frame, where the bentwood armrests flow in one continuous line around the backrest and into the front legs. The softly curved upholstered backs and seats create a generous, comfortable silhouette, while the small-scale woven check pattern adds depth and texture. Their low, rounded proportions give the set a calm architectural rhythm — elegant, functional and distinctly Thonet.
Thonet is one of the most important names in bentwood furniture history, known for its long-standing expertise in steam-bent wood and refined chair construction. The 235 F continues that tradition in a later 20th-century form, translating Thonet’s classic bentwood language into a more rounded, upholstered and modern dining chair design.
Condition
Good vintage condition with signs of age and use consistent with its period. The bentwood frames show visible wear, including surface scratches, small marks, edge wear and scuffs, especially along the armrests and back rails. The patterned upholstery is in good usable condition with light signs of use, some pressure marks, small fabric irregularities and subtle variation in tone.
