In 1857 Thonet received a commission to design and make chairs for Cafe Daum, a popular coffee shop in Vienna. This strong lightweight chair, "Number 4" became tremendously successful and sold very widely. It used solid wood for the frame, bent using steam and moulds. This example was made almost ten years after the original commission.
