bentwood vintage model 233 chair, 1950s

This elegant cafe chair, model 233, was designed by Michael Thonet and was made in Romania in probably the 50s or 60s. The chair has a hand-woven rattan webbing. The seat is most likelyproduced in one after the WC. II nationalized expropriated Thonet factories, which continued the production of Thonet chairs with the original Thonet machines. This chair has very elegant shapes and a curved backrest for a comfortable seat. Also just a nice chair to decorate somewhere. Both the frame and the rattan are still in very good condition.
