Michael Thonet No 56 Bentwood Stool by Ton
The No 56 Bentwood Stool is a fine example of Michael Thonet's approach to manufacturing. His approach in using pre-prepared molds, uniform veneers, and mechanical procedures allowed him to create the No. 56 bentwood stool, but also use many of the same parts from this chair in other bentwood designs.
In 1856, the growth of the Gebruder Thonet company had completely outpaced the 70-person production facility at Mollardgasse. A new factory would be set up in Koritschan, Moravia (modern-day the Czech Republic). Koritschan offered a vast amount of beechwood, a railway going through the village, and inexpensive labor. Michael and two of his sons, Michael and August, moved to Kortischan to produce the 56 bentwood stool, among other bentwood furniture.
Made in the Czech Republic by Ton.
