How about a quick history lesson? Today's topic is the design classic,
Model No. 14 Chair. Although simple in design,
Michael Thornet's Model No. 14. Chair is the most successfully mass produced product in the world to date! (whoa!) This great achievement is due it's affordability and easy assembly.
With it's steamed, "bentwood" technology, this piece is known as
the coffee house chair and continues to be produced and replicated by many.

Now that you know how influential this chair design is, you will notice it everywhere! Or better yet, maybe you own one just like it...and if you do, I may be a tad jealous.
