18 Chair: A Café Icon

This other classic model, created in 1876, builds on the idea of the original café chair. The Number 18 is comparably light and elegant to the Number 14 chair, but has a vertically filled backrest to add strength and enhance comfort.

The Number 18 series has been a favourite for almost 150 years, since it was first produced. Its timeless silhouette is the hallmark of Thonet typology. The Number 18 chair is delicate and lightweight, yet extremely strong thanks to the classic beechwood bending process. The long hand-bent section, which also forms the chair’s legs, follows the inner bend of the backrest all the way to the seat. Its timeless shape and many colour options make it a great addition to any space. This chair is as distinctive as you need it to be, in any interior.
