I'm a long-time fan of Thonet seating; every now and then, I get lucky on Ebay and add another curvaceous classic to my collection. Founded in 1819, the company seems bent [sorry!] on building on its heritage, enlisting contemporary designers to develop new collections.In 2009, Stefan Diez created the 404H stool, a piece that I think holds the promise of enduring appeal.
