The pre-owned 215 P chair by Thonet embodies the timeless elegance of Viennese design, combined with the unique artisanal expertise of the German house founded in the 19th century. Inspired by the iconic lines of the classic bistro chair, this model revisits the tradition of bentwood with finesse and lightness. Its recognizable silhouette, with its open, rounded backrest, reflects a historic heritage while meeting contemporary standards of comfort and durability. Crafted from solid bent beech wood using the signature technique developed by Michael Thonet, the 215 P balances structural strength with visual lightness. The curved back and slightly flared legs ensure excellent stability while giving the whole piece a fluid and harmonious form. The 215 P model stands out for its upholstered seat, covered in fabric, offering enhanced comfort compared to the traditional unpadded version. Available in a variety of wood stains, finishes, and upholstery options, the chair can be customized to suit both domestic interiors and public spaces such as cafés, restaurants, or meeting rooms. Lightweight, stackable, and easy to move, it represents a functional yet aesthetically refined approach to furniture. A symbol of tradition and innovation, the pre-owned 215 P chair by Thonet carries forward the spirit of classic design while responding to contemporary needs for ergonomics, modularity, and style.
Thonet is today a pioneer in furniture design worldwide. The German furniture manufacturer is a family-owned company with a prestigious history. Shortly after its inception, Thonet became a major furniture maker with a global distribution network, always working with famous designers such as Mart Stam, Marcel Breuer, and later Stefan Diez or Naoto Fukasawa. Indeed, the furniture from the Thonet brothers began to have commercial success, particularly thanks to the famous Vienna Café chair Thonet. It was created in 1859 and is considered one of the most successful industrial furniture designs globally.
