Auguste Renoir and Toulouse Lautrec featured Thonet chairs in their paintings and drawings, and Pablo Picasso had one in his studio.
Thonet's lifelong fascination was what could be done with bent and veneered timber from the local beech forests.
50 million had been sold worldwide by the 1930s and the Thonet-style chair is now manufactured by so many different companies that it is impossible to calculate how many have been produced.
Paying tribute to an armchair variant of the 214 - Model 209 developed by August Thonet - the celebrated 20th century architect Le Corbusier stated has anything been created more elegant and better in its conception, more precise in its execution, and more excellently functional.
In 1853, at the age of 57, Michael Thonet set up Gebrüder Thonet as the family furniture-making business in Vienna.
Thonet discovered the solution: a solid piece of steamed wood and a metal strap could be bent together in a certain way without cracking the wood, and after being dried out in a jig the wood held its shape.
In 1922 the company was purchased by Leopold Pilzer's holding company, Mundus AG, employing over 10,000 workers worldwide, and after further expansion has now passed through five generations of the Thonet family.
Despite the fact that it was already 100 years old, to Le Corbusier the Thonet bentwood chair still represented the modernist concepts of economy, durability and humbleness.
The Thonet Bentwood Chair
Michael Thonet and the early bentwood chair Michael Thonet was born in the Prussian town of Bopard-am-Rhein in 1796.
The Thonet bentwood chair consists of only six components (plus a few screws and nuts) and the design has remained virtually unchanged for nearly 150 years.
And the process, patented by Gebrüder Thonet in 1856, was much faster, lending itself to economical mass production.
Designed by Michael Thonet in 1859, the Model 14 bentwood chair, still manufactured today by the Gebrüder Thonet company as Model 214, is one of the world's most successful commercial products.

The furniture of the time was usually made from flat pieces of wood with numerous joints disguised by elaborate carvings, but Thonet rejected the traditional methods and looked instead for simpler and more economic means of production.
