Thonet - Le Corbusier - Armchair (2) - No. 209 - Beech, Leather

Pair of Thonet armchairs model no. 209, designed by Gebrüder Thonet (Michael Thonet's legacy), Vienna production, ca. 1900–1910.
Expertly restored bent beechwood frames in sleek black finish, with classic solid wood legs. Fully upholstered in luxurious white leather, secured with decorative brass nails for refined contrast and elegant detail.
Dimensions: 76 cm H × 53 cm W × 56 cm D.
This iconic bentwood classic, a favorite of Le Corbusier who used it extensively in his projects (e.g., Pavillon de l'Esprit Nouveau, Weissenhof Estate), exemplifies early 20th-century modernism, lightweight comfort, and masterful bentwood craftsmanship from the turn of the century.
