Designer Robert Stadler tells hiss tory about his creation Chair 107. “To design a new bistro chair for Thonet is a touchy task. Initially I was proposed to customize a typical Thonet chair for the Corso restaurants of which's design I am in charge of. But I preferred to elaborate a new chair instead of producing one more designer comment on this essential piece of furniture. My starting point was the fact that today Chair 214 is rather expensive, which represents a certain break in regards to Thonet's history. Indeed the company is renewed for being the first having achieved a worldwide distribution of their furniture thanks to its ingenious conception based on dismantling. Yet, after more than 40 millions sold chairs the manufacturing of the backpart is still rather traditional. With Chair 107 I focused on a new design of that element which is now being produced in an almost totally automated process.”
