No. 14 chair

Chair created by the Thonet company. Also known by the name of bistro or Thonet chair (in honour of its creator), it was designed by Michael Thonet himself in 1854, using the technique of steam bending wood. Number 14 is made of six pieces of steam-bent wood, ten screws and two nuts. The wooden parts were made from beechwood strips heated to 100 °C, pressed into cast-iron moulds and left to dry at a temperature of about 70 °C for 20 hours. The chairs can be mass-produced by unskilled workers and disassembled to save space during transport. Known as chair no. 14 because it appears like this in the furniture catalogue. Its affordable price and simple design made it one of the best-selling chair models in history and represents one of the most colossal successes in history, almost 45 million of this model were manufactured, making it a classic of design.
