Era Stool

Defined by its bentwood construction and simple form, the Era Stool (1859) has been in continuous production for over 150 years. By making the legs from a single piece of curved wood, designer Michael Thonet - who perfected the bentwood process for chair-making - eliminated the need for expensive joinery. The resulting stool is graceful, lightweight, and surprisingly strong, proven in cafes and restaurants all over the globe. Made in the Czech Republic.
