bentwood chair
Steam-shaped wooden seat
A bentwood chair is a chair made from wood that has been steamed or heated until pliable, then bent into curved shapes and allowed to harden.
The technique, popularized by Michael Thonet in the 19th century, produces lightweight, durable furniture with distinctive flowing lines: The café was furnished with classic bentwood chairs.
