These iconic wraparound chairs feature Thonet’s signature steamed and bent beechwood frames — a process the brand has perfected since the 19th century — paired with sunny yellow vinyl seats and oval backrests for a fun, sculptural look. The continuous bentwood arms create an elegant loop around the seat, giving the chairs that airy, fluid silhouette Thonet is known for. The seats are comfortably upholstered in yellow vinyl, which adds a pop of color and a great retro vibe. The chairs are sturdy and well-balanced, with the classic lower ring stretcher supporting the legs.

A maker's label remains on the underside, confirming Thonet production in Statesville, NC. Overall, these are fantastic examples of Thonet’s later bentwood designs — playful, high-quality, and increasingly collectible. See less
