Description:
The No. 14 chair is the most famous chair made by the Thonet chair company. Also known as the bistro chair, it was designed by Michael Thonet in the 19th century using a unique steam-bending technology, known as bentwood, that required years to perfect. With its affordable price and simple design, it became one of the best-selling chairs ever made. Some 50 million No. 14s were sold between 1860 and 1930, and millions more have been sold since.

Written March 30, 2011Thanks for the comment. You're correct, it was rendered in Lux and created with curves. It stays nice with internal but I think it'll need a better work with the wood materials. The chair seat was made with a flattened half sphere, just for experimentation reasons I don't remember why. I also tried to model the woven cane but it was insane at the time, perhaps it needs some normal map though.

Written December 04, 2015So simple and so beautifull. Thanks for adicional information too.
Very nice model, did you create it with curves and then convert to mesh? Also looks like it was rendered in Lux, is this correct? Thanks for the share.
