Milled wood is not curved – unless you bend it!

Those who associate coffee house culture throughout the world with the name Thonet think of the legendary bentwood chairs – the origin of our corporate history. With his invention of bending wood into a form using steam and muscle power, Michael Thonet laid the cornerstone for modern furniture. In the 1830s he first experimented with veneer strips boiled in glue until he finally succeeded in developing “furniture of solid bent wood”. Today we are speaking of bentwood if solid bent wood is used in furniture production. At the time, bending solid wood was revolutionary, and it has not lost any of its fascination to this day. Professional wood benders produce a diversity of bentwood furniture in our Frankenberg facility.
