Thonet in Milan
The great German furniture company, Thonet, was at the show with an exciting stand design by James Irvine. Thonet displayed new furniture from Naoto Fukasawa, Claudio Bellini, Frenkler & Ponholzer and emerging French designer Marc Venot. The modular storage (requiring no tools for assembly) proved an enormous hit. The classic Bauhaus 411 chair came upholstered in the most up-to-date black and white tweed from Kvadrat.

Thonet shortlisted for Design Week Awards
Stefan Diez’s 404H barstool for Thonet has been shortlisted for a Design Week Award, the winner of which will be announced in March.
The unique barstool 404 H. Standing on three legs, it is striking and unmistakable. The seat is especially characteristic and plays with the association with a riding saddle. Stefan Diez once again proves how the Thonet heritage can be interpreted in a modern and unconventional way based on the innovative processing of wood. The table 1410, identical to the barstool, matches it.
Sister Sledge
Thonet S 333 sleigh
Using Thonet’s world famous tubular steel technology, Holger Lange has created the ultimate cantilevered sleigh for all the family.
The skids and seat frame are produced from a single bent stainless steel tube. It has excellent sledding properties, runs perfectly straight, and glides like a dream. The cantilever seat frame acts as a shock absorber and counteracts any unevenness on the slope. A robust weather-resistant mesh is stretched on it. For transport, several sledges can be stacked, and when walking it can be carried like a backpack.
Stainless steel honed frame, plastic mesh in silver, havana or black. Black textile leash with Thonet logo. The dimensions are oriented towards modern racing sledges.
