Interior Inspiration: Thonet Chairs

I've recently noticed that many of my pins contain Thonet chairs.  The classic cafe chair was created by Michael Thonet in the 1859, who perfected bentwood designs.  It has been consistently produced for over 150 years.

I love their simplistic elegance and classic lines.  Le Corbusier said the chair had 'class' and I would definitely agree.
