The wood bending technique is a very ancient procedure that has been part of the craftsmanship scene for ages, although it has never really stood out due to a lack of productivity. Michael Thonet gave up the lamellar wood bending technique, employed by the artisans of the time, to create a new procedure of solid wood bending. This innovative technique is what helped him make his first wood furniture, introducing the audience to elegant and practical designs that could be made on a larger production scale.

Michael Thonet’s intuition begins with the desire to transform an artisanal process into an industrial one. In 1842 he created the technique that made him famous all over the world: the slats of wood are lathed, placed in an autoclave to absorb humidity, bended and fixed in metal molds, and finally dried.
