The First Mass Produced and Best-Selling Chair in the World

(via The Vintage News)  The chair that you have definitely seen gazillion times and mostly likely reminds us to a nice French Bistro, it’s, in fact, the first mass-produced chair in the world. Designed by the German-Austrian cabinet maker Michael Thonet, Chair No.14 was introduced in 1859 by the Thonet chair company. Colloquially known as the Bistro Chair, it was made using a unique steam-bending technology, known as bentwood, that took years to perfect.
