It's in the 1830's that Thonet starts with experimenting with bent wood (etuvage), a technique were steam is used to bend rods of beech wood. This with other innovations and high quality has meant that Thonet still survives today.
Joiner Michael Thonet (1796–1871)founded his first woodworking shop in 1819 in Boppard and subsequently gave his business to his fur sons in 1853. In 1851, he received a bronze medal for his Vienna chair at the great Exhibition in London. This and the patent for bending wood would propel him nd his business to an international level.
