Description
The monograph on Michael Thonet and his world-famous company, written by leading Czech expert Jiří Uhlíř, is a unique European publication on the subject. It is a story from the golden age of the industrial revolution, a tale of an invention that was at the birth of an entire industrial sector – the production of furniture from bent wood. In this visually rich publication, you will become acquainted with a wide range of products, both well-known and absolutely rare. You can follow the author's almost detective-like search for the personal and family history of the pioneer of this unique technology and founder of factories in Koryčany, Bystřice pod Hostýnem, and others, researching in archives, museums, and collections across several countries.
