Bentwood Spiral
Gebrüder Thonet, Vienna, ca. 1885
Saint Louis Art Museum
The Austrian furniture manufacturer Gebrüder Thonet made this extraordinary Spiral from a single board 28 feet long (8.5 meters).
The Spiral is a tour de force of Thonet’s wood bending capabilities, and the purity of its lines exemplifies the aesthetic appeal of bentwood furniture. During the 1850s, the firm’s founder, Michael Thonet, perfected a process of bending lengths of steamed beechwood rods in iron molds. Before then, the construction of most furniture relied on connecting separate pieces of wood by the use of interlocking joints. Thonet’s technological innovations led to the first mass-production of standardized furniture.
