- We chose to leave the woodwork as is so as not to alter the patina. All the chairs are in a remarkable state of preservation.
- Created in 1859, the chair N°14 is at the origin of “‘objet-design”. This was the first chair sold in kit form, long before IKEA: 36 chairs in kit form fit in a 1 M3 box. Still published today under the reference “214” by Thonet, it has become a true icon of design history.
