For Thonet Adolf Loos designed some furniture for the Café Museum in Vienna , that resulted in a more subtle and mature adaption of the original Thonet manufacturing techniques. Thonet became popular in the nineteen century for its optimalization of the production of bent wood furniture. Loos perfectioned the designs of the Thonet collection by moulding and stressing its natural forms, that matched with the Art Nouveau style. For the interior decoration of the Café Museum he expanded the existent Thonet colour palette with varnished red, yellow, white and black. When you are in Vienna, you could still enjoy a cup of coffee in this Café, check here for their website and their extensive info about Adolf’s Loos designs.

At this moment Robert Dusarduyn is selling a part of his black lacquered Thonet collection. He has a bench, some chairs, a dining table and a bed for sale. In the Amsterdam shop we had the possibility to make some shots of his black lacquered Thonet bench, that is in a good condition. We think that this bench will fit with The Bamboo Papers of Farrow & Ball. These originally Japanese prints from the nineteen century have been recently relaunched by this British manufacturer in paints and wall papers. Both designs (The Bamboo Papers and the Thonet bench) date from the same century and are inspired by floral forms. Therefore we like to combine them with the accent upon subtlety. The prints of The Bamboo papers can make an impact. In order to keep the interiors chic and simple, we would like suggest to pick a remarkable spot of the house for the Thonet bench and panel its back wall with one version of The Bamboo Papers. If you are not into wallpapers, than Rectory Red can be a good alternative for the setting of this beautiful black lacquered Thonet bench.
