Wooden Viennese chair

Today, chairs are made from a variety of different materials, but wood models are still considered the most popular. They are cheap and durable, and they can be found in any furniture store. A version of ageless classics that fit into the interior of any apartment or cafe - a Viennese wooden chair .

History of the Viennese chair

For the first time a light chair made of bent beech was created in the beginning of the XIX century by Michael Tonet. Together with his brother, he received several awards for the creation of solid furniture with a compact frame. Demand for them was so high that this furniture gave rise to the world's first industrial production. At first the Viennese wooden chairs were created only for universities: for kitchens, country houses and restaurants they began to be used much later.

Apartment design and choice of chairs

Choosing modern Viennese furniture, you need to pay special attention to the material. In addition to beech, you can see models of linden, alder, rattan and pressed wood. The last option should be avoided: models of sawdust do not have the necessary wear resistance.

If you only choose the interior for a house or apartment, please note that the bent chair fits perfectly into a classic, ethnic or retro setting. Of particular value are the antique chairs, which are hunted by collectors. For design in the style of hi-tech or minimalism, only wooden bar stools, stylized with Viennese furniture, are suitable.

Because of the simplicity of design, these chairs, even the beginner, can combine them with other models in the style chosen earlier. The apartment in Scandinavian style with a predominance of light colors will be complemented by white Viennese chairs (they are created from light wooden rocks - bamboo, hornbeam, birch). Monochrome interior, on the contrary, is in harmony with dark wood species. For provencal decoration conventional chairs will have to be decorated with stuffed seats and covers on the back, decorated with stringers.
