An icon of Viennese design, the N. 811 chair combines artisanal tradition with timeless modernity.
Its clean, functional aesthetic—typical of Hoffmann’s style—remains strikingly relevant nearly a century after its creation.
The steam-bent solid beechwood structure lends the chair an organic elegance and remarkable strength, while maintaining both visual and physical lightness. The seat and backrest are made of natural woven cane, offering flexibility, breathability, and everyday comfort. A perfect balance between graphic lines and noble materials, the N. 811 chair fits seamlessly into both classic and contemporary interiors.
Gebrüder Thonet Vienna originates from a family of successful furniture makers during the industrial era. Michael Thonet, the founder, worked with wood and transitioned from laminated wood techniques to the use of steam-bent, round-sectioned wood. Formal elegance, durability, and lightness determined the success of Gebrüder Thonet Vienna, which, in just a few years, opened production sites worldwide. A unique production process rooted in a rich history of influences.
