Otto Wagner Designer Vienna Pancota (Thonet) Bent Beechwood Salon Suite, Austria, ca. 1910-15
This exquisitely crafted salon suite, attributed to the celebrated architect Otto Wagner and produced by Vienna Pancota (Thonet) circa 1910-1915, represents a stunning example of early modernist design. Renowned for its bentwood craftsmanship, Thonet pioneered in producing elegant, durable furniture that seamlessly combines function and aesthetics.
The set comprises a settee featuring graceful curves and refined craftsmanship, constructed from stained beechwood and upholstered with high-quality, modern dark green leather, accented by French nailheads. Two matching armchairs echo the elegance of Thonet’s bentwood technique, while a circular side table made of mahogany and stained beechwood, with elegantly splayed legs and a lower shelf, provides additional display or storage.
This vintage/antique item is in excellent condition, having been refreshed through new upholstery and refinishing.
Thonet's mastery of bending wood paved the way for the modernist movement. Otto Wagner, a key figure in Viennese Modernism, embraced innovative techniques and materials, influencing a generation of designers. This salon suite is a testament to the artistic collaboration between Wagner’s vision and Thonet’s expertise.
For over 180 years, Thonet has produced elegant and durable furniture that blurs the lines between art and design. Wagner’s influence in modernist architecture and furniture design is evident in this stunning suite.
