Thonet
The unique success story of Thonet began with the work of master carpenter Michael Thonet. Since establishing his first workshop in Boppard on the River Rhine in 1819, the name Thonet has stood for high-quality, innovative and elegant furniture. Thonet collaborates with renowned national and international designers - in addition, some of the furniture is designed by the in-house Thonet Design Team.
