Designed by Michael Thonet for Ton:
Michael Thonet is one of the most important innovators in bentwood furniture making. Thonet patented a process of bending under heat several layers of wood veneer glued together and laminated, and he used the new material to create curved back-rails and legs on chairs, contoured headboards for beds and scrolled arms for sofas.

A new era — A centuries-old favorite prized for its bentwood construction and graceful profile, the Era Stool's legs are crafted from a single piece of curved solid wood that’s certified to FSC standards.

Renowned for 150 years
Defined by its bentwood construction and simple form, the Era Stool (1859) has been in continuous production for over 150 years. By making the legs from a single piece of curved wood, designer Michael Thonet – who perfected the bentwood process for chair-making – eliminated the need for expensive joinery. The resulting stool is graceful, lightweight, and surprisingly strong, proven in cafés and restaurants all over the globe. Made in the Czech Republic.
Sturdy construction suitable for high-traffic dining areas.
In continuous production for 150 years.
