The MONET 18 chair refers to the legendary model No. 18 by Michael Thonet, who revolutionised furniture making in the 19th century by introducing the technique of bending beech wood. The "Eighteen" is a design known for its elegant simplicity and exceptional lightness, an icon of European café and restaurant décor. In our interpretation, the chair responds to the needs of more classic-style dining establishments.
The process of creating the MONET 18 bentwood chair is based on the proven technique of wood bending, known from Thonet's classic designs. Carefully selected pieces of beechwood are placed in special chambers where they are exposed to hot steam. Under the influence of heat and moisture, the wood becomes flexible. It is then formed into steel frames, giving it its characteristic shape of the backrest, legs and armrests. All crafted without any joints.
Once cooled and dried, the material retains its shape, giving the whole piece exceptional lightness and impressive durability. Our chair no. 18 retains its shape for years, offering users comfort, reliability and timeless aesthetics.
Chair No. 18 is made entirely of FSC-certified wood. It comes from sustainable European forests. We carefully control the quality of workmanship and aesthetics of the finish. The possibility of personalisation allows you to choose a solution that is 100% tailored to the needs of your premises.
Mextra MONET 18 is handmade from natural wood, which may vary slightly in colour, grain or shade. Visible knots, light and shade or slight differences in texture are characteristics that prove the authenticity of the material and cannot be considered a defect.
We recommend MONET 18 for spaces where a cosy atmosphere is important – from elegant cafés and atmospheric bistros to boho or Scandinavian-style restaurants. Its light, curved design adds cosiness to interiors, while the natural wood introduces warmth and harmony. This model fits perfectly into classic, rustic and modern interiors, where it provides a subtle touch of tradition surrounded by contemporary forms.
