Brand History Brush Up:
Who was Michael Thonet?
As
early as 1881, esteemed woodwork craftsman Michael Thonet has been changing the
way we view woodwork in the furniture industry. Originally a cabinet maker,
Thonet helped pioneer the growing interest for Bentwood chairs during his
lifetime by perfecting the design process and producing some of the most iconic
chairs in circulation today. In the mid-1800s, steam-bending wood to create
curved furniture was a new technique that caused a generation of fresh design
inspiration and ideas.
The Iconic No.14 Bistro Café Side chair
Perhaps
Thonet’s most iconic chair design in use for the catering and hospitality
industry today is the No.14 Chair – regarded by many designers, including
architect Le Corbusier – as a design classic. Known globally as the Bistro Café
side chair, the chair was created in 1859, quickly earning a gold medal and
industry acclaim at a display during the 1867 Paris World Exposition.
Practical
and pretty, the original chair is constructed of only 10 screws and 2 nuts,
making it simple to set up. The chair had been produced from classic Bentwood
design, with wood slats steam-bent to form the lasting curved shape seen
commonly in wooden café décor.
Industry Knowledge: What's Steam-bending?
Steam-bending technology is also known as the bentwood
method, and uses lightweight, resilient woods like Beech wood to create unique
chair designs. The wood is heated using steam, then moulded into shape using
cast-iron moulds and finally left to heat dry, allowing the shape to keep. Thonet’s
same attention to detail is still applied to the woodworking method from Fameg
manufacturers today, confirmed by the trademark branding on the rear of all
Fameg chairs.
Our
modern version, produced in the original Michael Thonet factories of
Poland, is an updated classic featuring all the design benefits of the popular
classic.Outward curved back detail makes for long-term seating comfort, whilst
subtly rounded wooden edges create relief for resting legs.
The double wooden
loop adds increased back support, helping to ease muscle tension for the user. Where
the original design held a cane seat, our updated version has a soft wooden
seat pad for customer relaxation.
Repurposed as the 214 ‘Famous Coffee House Chair’ by the modern German Thonet business, the chair is still ‘considered the most successful mass produced product in the world to date: it initiated the history of modern furniture.’

Fameg Brand Colour Palette
Natural wood
Classic,
timeless, and one of the best materials for furniture design as it matches with
most materials, fabric furnishings, colours, textures, patterns, and décor
finishes.
Beech wood
Bright,
organic and inviting, Beech wood is perfect for keeping in check with a
naturally inspired interior. Smooth to touch and great for framing rustic style
farmhouse food. A warm pinkish brown gives this woodgrain a no-nonsense, spotless,
naturally beautiful look.
Walnut
Walnut adds
rich colour and warmth, perfect for use in large spaces as a dark colour can
makes spacious interiors feel cosier. Walnut wood is great for use in cafés and
public houses.
White Wooden furniture painted white has a distinctive antique look, but can also be used in contemporary minimalist settings to create clean lines and a calming atmospheric finish. It is also popular, as it leaves you with the advantage of being able to ‘upcycle/recycle’ or ‘repurpose’ your furniture as required.
White furniture acts as a blank canvas for bold colour schemes, allowing you to get creative. Why not try dressing up our Fameg chairs with our variety of Mix and Match Table Tops and Bases. Bright seat pads also add a splash of colour, or try using booster cushions to create a luxury, plush look and add height for the little ones.
