Management system

Vision

We create atmospheric rooms that radiate values, purpose and identity.

Mission

Together with notable designers and high-calibre development and manufacturing partners, our mission is to create products and sustainable values for our business partners and customers. A pioneer in furniture design, Thonet has a portfolio that includes tubular steel and bentwood classics with significant cultural heritage as well as new models that are as inspiring as they are timeless. This combination has made Thonet a respected partner in the furniture sector. We see ourselves as a supplier of high-quality products that places great value on iconographic design with high recognition value. Through active communication at brand and distribution level we are able to directly influence the awareness of relevant market participants. Our dialogue partners include architects, interior designers, office and home furniture retailers as well as influential private and commercial end customers.
