Master carpenter Michael Thonet already in his lifetime in the 19th century was an iconic figure of furniture art and design. After he won the right to manufacture bent furniture from the Vienna Court Chamber, his first wicker furniture was born, such as his well-known main work no. 14 chairs, commonly known as thonet chairs. The German name of the material, Wiener Geflecht, i.e. Viennese fabric refers to the connection to Vienna. On the seat surface of the bent wooden frame, the seat is made of tonet fabric, which is a rattan material with holes, it is comfortable and well ventilated.
This type of rattan material has not accidentally entered the public consciousness as a seating surface. Do not try to stand on it, because the fibers of the tonet material may snap. The seat of a thonet chair damaged in this way can be repaired with the help of chair reeding. If you are not attracted to chair repair at home, we are happy to undertake this work for you.

There are several types of hole-punched thonet material. At Naturtrend we basically stock two halves. Their pattern can have a similar repetition of ½ and ⅝ col, you can read this from the product code. e.g. TH-½-60-S
Which one do you need? If you buy new, whichever you prefer. If you are replacing an existing one, it is important that it is the same, you can calculate it as follows:
Calculate the hole pitch.
1col - 2.54 cm
How many holes are there in 1 inch? 2.1 cm - 1 inch 1 inch 1.5 cm - 4 holes in 5.5 cm. Measure from the rightmost yarn to the rightmost yarn of the 4th hole.
5.5 cm / 2.54 cm = 2.16 cm
2.16 / 4 (holes) = ½
So the thonet webbing is ½.
How many holes are there in 1 inch? 6.9 cm has 4 holes. Measure from the rightmost yarn to the rightmost yarn of the 4th hole.
6.9 cm / 2.54 cm = 2.71 cm
2,71 / 4 = 0,677
So the thonet webbing is ⅝.
The fabric should be measured both horizontally and vertically, as the fabric may be slightly distorted.
And with old hand-stitched chairs, it is easy to get neither of the hole pitches exactly right.
Always use distilled or deionized water!
Did you know?
Plain tap water can sometimes discolour or grey the material if the water has a high iron or manganese content. Avoid this at all costs!
And here's a super tip: add a few drops of Domestos or Hypo to your distilled water. This will keep your water fresh for up to 1-2 months, it won't get slimy, it won't get overgrown with B bacteria and you won't have to keep buying new water!
It's that simple! Your thonet will keep its original colour and quality.
