Thonet—the oldest surviving furniture company in the world—began its long life in 1819, when cabinetmaker Michael Thonet (1796-1871) established a furniture workshop in Boppard, Ge rmany. A proponent of the Biedermeier style, he specialized in chairs, tables, and storage pieces characterised by clean lines, reduced ornamentation, and an emphasis on functionalist principles. By the 1830s, Thonet’s experiments in laminated and steam-bent wood furniture, like his famous Boppard Chair (1836), brought international acclaim. Thonet’s designs achieved a combination of lightness, durability, and comfort unknown in European furniture at the time. 1970's Cafe design this table, finished with a white marble top, uses Thonet's designs in bent tubular steel by Bauhaus masters.
