118 Chair

Minimalist and honest, yet elegant and slender: the 118 chair is a classic wooden chair that brings a subtle elegance to any dining table or restaurant. The principle of reducing a chair to as few elements as possible was introduced by Michael Thonet in the mid-19th century. The 118 chair is a continuation of this principle and, with a nod to the company’s heritage, takes it a step further. Sebastian Herkner has added sophisticated details that make the design less dominant and thus even more distinguished. The shape of the chair legs is another special feature: rounded on the outside and straight on the inside, a design that alludes to the horseshoe shape of the seating surface. The bentwood seat shell and the handcrafted seat covered with yoke are reminiscent of 214, the archetypal Thonet chair. The range has been extended with the 118 H stools. The newest member of this chair range is the 118 FV, a cozy armchair that offers even more space and comfort. This design was created by Sebastian Herkner specifically for fine dining environments and features a larger seat and a wider, slightly more reclined backrest.
