Summary:
"With around 400 objects in its possession, Die Neue Sammlung-The Design Museum, in Munich boasts one of the world's largest and most important collections of Thonet furniture. One that therefore not only reflects the development of seating furniture but also, and in particular, represents an important chapter in European company history. The exhibition not only shows Thonet's pioneering work in the field of bentwood and tubular-steel furniture; it also spotlights the designs of the second half of the 20th century to the present day."--Cover, page 4
