Story

Togetherness in bentwood

Thonet's page presents the 520 by Marco Dessí as an upholstered chair family that combines comfort with visual and physical lightness. Dessí replaced the empty spaces between the bentwood elements with upholstery, a reference to the classic Thonet bentwood chair.

From dining to executive meetings

The page says the construction allows versions with and without armrests, and that the family suits uses from sophisticated dining to executive meetings. The 521 swivel chair extends it for offices and meeting rooms.
