(smow)offline: Thonet 214 x 214

To celebrate the 150th birthday of Michael Thonet’s “chair of all chairs” Thonet are running a photo competition: 214×214.

The rules are ridiculously simple; whoever submits the best photo of a Thonet 214 wins a 3 day trip to New York. For the second best there is a trip to Thonet in Frankenberg and the chance to build your own 214.

If you don’t own 214, you could always buy one – or more – from smow.

Alternatively, keep your eyes open when your out and about, 214’s crop up a lot more often than you’d think.

All relevant information can be found at on the Thonet homepage.

Thonet 214 - stable and well balanced

Thonet 214 - seating and decoration in one

Thonet 214 - collapsable, though not recommended
