The company Thonet was founded in 1819 and has since become a furniture manufacturer with the highest standards of design and quality. Worldwide, the name is associated with famous design classics of our time. In this book, the graphic design behind the Thonet brand is explored for the very first time, along with the development of signets and printed goods parallel to the furniture design and the aesthetics of the age. More than 100 exhibits from the Thonet archives are presented chronologically – from the first 19th-century sales posters, adorned with ornaments like the furniture of the period, to the reduced-format catalogues from the 1920s, to the creation of a timeless image from 1974. Discussions with designers of the brand from 1969 complete the volume. This publication is both graphic design history and a portrait of a 200-year-old company.

Зміст
Компанія Thonet була заснована в 1819 році і з тих пір стала виробником меблів з найвищими стандартами дизайну і якості. У всьому світі це ім'я асоціюється з відомими класиками дизайну нашого часу. У цій книжці вперше досліджується графічний дизайн, що стоїть за брендом Thonet, а також розробка значків і друкованої продукції паралельно з дизайном меблів та естетикою епохи. Понад 100 експонатів з архіву Thonet представлені в хронологічному порядку - від перших рекламних плакатів 19 століття, прикрашених орнаментами, як і меблі того часу, до зменшених каталогів 1920-х років і створення позачасового образу 1974 року. Дискусії з дизайнерами бренду, починаючи з 1969 року, завершують том. Це видання є одночасно історією графічного дизайну та портретом 200-річної компанії.
