Shoe board or wall shelf S 1521 Thonet

Statement in the hallway: S 1521 shoe rack by Thonet

The shoe rack is a complement to the S 1520 coat rack. Whether used individually or together, the two pieces of coat rack furniture impress with their simplicity and expressiveness. The interplay of elegantly curved tubular steel and black shelves has an extraordinarily noble effect and is an eye-catcher in any entrance area. But you don't just get perfect design - the shelf combination with its shelves made of hard-wearing translucent mesh is also convincing in functional terms. 

Thonet - over 200 years of tradition 

The Frankenberg-based manufacturer stands for durability and an irrepressible drive for innovation. Thonet was the first manufacturer to bring bentwood furniture to the market and the first to market tubular steel furniture. Michael Thonet founded his own workshop in Boppard am Rhein in 1819. In the 1830s he experimented with strips of veneer boiled in glue and is therefore regarded as the inventor of "furniture made of bent wood". In 1842, he was invited to Vienna by the Austrian state chancellor Prince Metternich and the coffee house culture there laid the foundation for Thonet's later success. Given this desire for innovation, it is not surprising that Thonet also cultivated links with the Bauhaus and Marcel Breuer. Thus Thonet implemented Breuer's experiments with cold-bent tubular steel and produced the famous cantilever chairs. 

Material and format
