14 Chair Upholstered Seat by Michael Thonet for TON

An Enduring Bentwood Design

The TON 14 Chair with Upholstered Seat captures the character of classic bentwood furniture through its elegant curves, slender proportions and distinctive double-arched backrest. Designed by Michael Thonet, the chair has a recognisable silhouette that feels equally relevant in traditional and contemporary spaces. The curved timber frame creates a light, open profile, while the upholstered seat introduces a softer, tactile contrast to the natural character of the wood. Its rounded seat and gently curved backrest give the design a balanced, inviting appearance. From intimate dining spaces to character-rich cafés and hospitality interiors, the TON 14 brings a considered design presence without overwhelming its surroundings.

European Beechwood and Custom Finish Options

Crafted with a European beechwood frame, the TON 14 Chair reflects the material simplicity and expressive curves associated with traditional bentwood furniture. The curved backrest and rounded timber seat frame create a cohesive silhouette, complemented by upholstery that introduces colour and texture. Available in standard and pigment finishes, the chair offers opportunities for customisation across different interior palettes, from restrained natural tones to more expressive colours. Measuring 40.5cm wide, 40.5cm deep and 84cm high, with a seat height of 46cm, its compact proportions make it a considered option for dining arrangements where visual lightness and efficient use of space are important. The combination of timber, upholstery and curved detailing gives the chair a distinctive character.
