Bentwood chairs have carved out a timeless niche in the furniture world, blending elegance, durability, and practicality in a way few other pieces can match. At Innerspace, we believe that whether you're furnishing a cosy breakfast nook, revamping your dining room or creating your dream coffee shop, Bentwood chairs deserve a place in any space. 

The History and Craftsmanship of Bentwood Chairs

Bentwood chairs have a deep-rooted history originating in 19th-century Europe, where the innovative technique of steam-bending wood was pioneered by Michael Thonet. This craftsmanship was established in 1861 with the opening of a bent furniture plant in Bystřice pod Hostýnem and continues to uphold a tradition of meticulous artistry. Today, Bentwood chairs remain cherished for their timeless elegance, durability, and versatility, making them an exceptional choice for enhancing any living space.
 
Carrying a storied history and iconic appeal, Ton's Bentwood Chairs have graced the homes and establishments of prominent figures such as Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso. Their presence in historical photographs and artworks underscores their enduring status in the design world.

Craftsmanship and Durability

The bending process used to create Bentwood chairs not only enhances the wood's strength but gives each chair its distinctive shape, ensuring it can withstand the demands of daily use with grace and resilience.

To underscore their durability, Michael Thonet famously dropped a Bentwood chair from the Eiffel Tower during the 1867 World Exhibition in Paris. Despite the significant impact, the chair remarkably remained intact, demonstrating its sturdy construction and solidifying its reputation for durability.
