Founded in 1853 in Vienna by Michael Thonet and his five sons, Gebrüder Thonet Vienna (GTV) is a historic Austrian furniture maker that revolutionized industrial design. Thonet pioneered the chemical-mechanical steam-bending process, allowing for the mass production of elegant, lightweight, and durable wooden furniture. The brand is globally recognized for its iconic bentwood and woven cane pieces, most notably the No. 14 "coffee house chair," which became a staple of Parisian and Viennese cafés and remains one of the most successful industrial products of all time.
