About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
The chairs shown here are Thonet 209 bentwood chairs with armrests and a cane seat. This model is one of Thonet's most famous classics and was originally developed in the 19th century. The 209 chair became particularly well-known through Le Corbusier, who used it in many of his buildings (e.g., in the Weissenhof Estate in 1927). Characteristic features include the flowing, curved armrests that connect the backrest and legs into a harmonious whole.
The chairs are made of solid, bent beechwood, shaped using Thonet's classic steam-bending technique.
The surface is lacquered in a crisp white, which emphasizes the light and modern character. The round seat is finished with traditional cane webbing, creating a warm contrast to the white frame. The striking design feature is the curved backrest and armrests, which form a single, continuous line and elegantly frame the seat. Beneath the seat, an additional bentwood element in a ring shape provides stability.
Condition: The chairs are in very good condition. The finish is well-preserved, with only very minor signs of wear in a few places. The cane webbing of the seats is intact and shows no breaks or sagging. Minor marks on the wood and screws are visible, but do not affect functionality. Overall, this is a very well-preserved, authentic set of classic Thonet chairs in a timeless design.
