Thonet's chairs have been used in homes and cafes since they were first designed in 1855 the Thonet chair is made of solid beech wood and moulded laminated wood.
Thonet was granted a patent for his process for bending wood laminates in 1842, having produced chairs in his workshop in Austria since 1819.
Le Corbusier and Josef Hoffman used Thonet chairs in their interiors from the 1920's
