THONET Stool Bentwood Stool • Programme 214 H
The famous coffee-house chair is an icon and is still considered the most successful industrial product in the world: it marked the beginning of the history of modern furniture. The basis was a new technique, the bending of solid wood, which Michael Thonet perfected in the 1850s, making series production possible in the first place. There was also a brilliant distribution idea: 36 disassembled chairs were packed into a crate measuring one cubic metre, sent all over the world and assembled on site. With its clear, reduced aesthetic, this classic has found its place in the most varied of settings for over 150 years.
The 214 H transfers the bentwood technique of the coffee-house chair to a stool without a backrest. On the square four-leg frame measuring 39 x 39 cm, the seat height is 46 cm, or 48 cm for the upholstered version. Three versions are available: a moulded plywood dished seat (214 MH), a cane weave seat with plastic support fabric underneath the seat (214 RH), or a seat with mirror upholstery (214 PH). Plastic glides are included; felt glides are available for an additional charge. The wood is finished in Beech I, with further stain shades available for an additional charge.

Mirror upholstery: With mirror upholstery, only the inner side is upholstered – precisely the area where you sit and lean. The back of the seat shell remains visible in wood or plastic. This keeps the chair light and slender while still noticeably improving seating comfort.
Dished seat: The dished seat is a seat surface made of moulded plywood that is slightly recessed towards the centre rather than flat. As a result, you sit somewhat within the surface rather than merely on it: weight is distributed better, and you don't slide forward. More comfortable than a flat wooden board – and entirely without padding. This is denoted by the "M" in the model name, for example in 214 M or 118 M.
