Price History
Description
A great industrial design classic, the famous "No. 14" bistro chair was the first chair to be mass-produced in kit form! It is the best-known and best-selling chair in the history of furniture. It was designed in 1860 by Michael Thonet, founder of the brand, in response to an order placed by the owner of a Viennese café who wanted practical, elegant chairs taking up very little space for his establishment. The No. 14 Chair is composed of six bentwood parts that can be taken apart for easier transportation. Its design, unfailing solidity, manoeuvrability and value for money secured its success: the order books rapidly became fuller and Thonet decided to mass-produce it. In 1930, he had already sold more than 50 million pieces! More than a century and a half later, the No. 14 bistro chair is still being produced just the same (it is delivered assembled). The No. 14 chair comes with different seats: a full plywood seat, a perforated plywood seat or a caned straw seat. Comes in a multitude of colours: please ask us.
Our Stylist Says
The N° 14 Chair is a classic piece that adds both vintage appeal and modern functionality to any dining space. Its perforated seat and slim, curved lines lend it a timeless yet versatile look, making it suitable for a range of interior styles from Scandinavian minimalism to eclectic boho. I love pairing it with rustic wooden tables for a warm, lived-in feel, or with sleek, contemporary surfaces to highlight the contrast. Practical styling tips include mixing and matching with upholstered chairs for visual interest or layering with colourful cushions for added comfort. Its understated black finish makes it easy to incorporate into various colour palettes, adding a touch of effortless chic to your dining area.
