bentwood chairs
Steam-shaped wooden seats
Bentwood chairs are furniture made by steaming wood until pliable, then bending it into curved shapes that harden as they dry.
The technique allows elegant, lightweight designs without joints or carved pieces.
The iconic café chair with its curved back and caned seat is the classic example: The bistro was filled with bentwood chairs.
