Provided: MR 516 / MR516 1 Coffee table with storage Thonet
A versatile classic rediscovered - on the occasion of the Bauhaus anniversary in 2019, the MR 516 1 coffee table was reissued by Thonet. The original version was re-issued as a re-edition from the Thonet tubular steel furniture catalogue of 1935 with tubular steel frame and wooden top.
The coffee table was probably made around 1928, when designer Mies van der Rohe designed the Esters and Lange houses in Krefeld. The Besau Marguerre design studio took a close look at the design table and developed a contemporary adaptation that remains close to the original, yet has been adapted with small details. For example, the central crossing point of the table legs under the glass top has now been made more elegant.
Thonet - 200 years of tradition
The Frankenberg-based manufacturer stands for consistency and the irrepressible urge for innovation. Thonet was the first manufacturer to introduce bentwood furniture to the market and to distribute tubular steel furniture. Michael Thonet founded his own workshop in Boppard am Rhein in 1819. In the 1830s he experimented with veneer strips boiled in glue and is therefore considered the inventor of the "furniture made of bent wood". In 1842 he was invited to Vienna by the Austrian chancellor Prince Metternich and the coffee house culture there laid the foundation for the later success of Thonet. With this will to innovate, it is not surprising that Thonet also had connections to the Bauhaus and Marcel Breuer. Thonet implemented his experiments with cold-bent tubular steel and produced the famous cantilever chairs.
