THONET chair wooden chair Fine Dining • Programme 118 FV
Minimalist and honest, yet elegant and delicate: the 118 is a classic wooden chair that lends subtle elegance to any dining table or restaurant. The principle of reducing a chair to as few components as possible was introduced by Michael Thonet back in the mid-19th century. The 118 chair is a further development that pays tribute to the company's heritage – and takes it a step further. Sebastian Herkner adds refined details that make the design less dominant, yet all the more sophisticated. Another distinctive feature is the Shape of the chair Legs: rounded on the outside, straight on the inside – a form that echoes the horseshoe-shaped base of the seat. The seat frame, bent from a single piece, and the hand-worked, cane-Weave Seat surface both reference the original Thonet bentwood chair, the 214. The programme is extended by the 118 H bar stool. The 118 FV model completes the seating family as a comfortable, inviting armchair. It is more generous and even more comfortable: with a larger Seat surface and a wider, slightly more reclined Backrest, it was conceived by Sebastian Herkner for fine dining.
The THONET 118 FV was designed by Sebastian Herkner for fine dining: a larger Seat surface, a wider and more reclined Backrest. It is available in four Versions: with a hand-woven cane Weave seat (118 FV), with a moulded plywood shell seat (118 MFV), with a half-upholstered seat (118 SPFV), and with an upholstered seat and back (118 PFV). The Wood is available in six stain shades, the cane Weave in natural and in DARK MELANGE.

Half-upholstery: With half-upholstery, only the inside is upholstered – precisely the surface you sit and lean on. The back of the Seat shell remains visible in Wood or plastic. This keeps the chair light and delicate while noticeably improving seating comfort.
Moulded seat: The moulded seat is a Seat surface made of moulded plywood that is slightly recessed towards the centre rather than flat. This means you sit somewhat within the surface rather than just on it: weight is distributed more evenly, and you don't slide forward. More comfortable than a flat wooden board – without any padding at all. This is denoted by the "M" in the model name, for example in the 214 M or 118 M.
