Wiener GTV Design Thonet - Ladder H154

With LADDER , Charlie Styrbjörn Nilsson uses the technique of steam curved wood to create an interior staircase in which the solidity of solid wood gives body to a slender and light structure where the pegs, characterized by a rounded line on one side, follow each other in a mirror-like manner and define the direction of the climb. Ladder is a versatile complement, able to reinvent the space with its unexpected presence, lending itself to multiple uses both in the living area and in the bedroom: a support point for hanging or applying different accessories, a decorative element that does not exclude practicality.

To develop his products he is very frequently inspired by industrial and manufacturing processes, and finds balance in his interest in biology.

Wiener GTV Design Thonet

Gebrüder Thonet Vienna GmbH (GTV) has develop edits work in a successful blend of the traditional and the modern, of continuity and renewal, with a new production program that begins by re-editing a series of Gebrüder Thonet classics. At the same time, GTV stands for contemporary furnishing. Advanced production techniques are applied to innovative designs and uses of materials, to create highly sought-after, multipurpose furnishing items. Truly original, up-to-date solutions that integrate well with the more classic products of its catalogue, now reworked.Items such as chair No. 14, of which more than 50 million were made between 1850 and 1930, have gone down in history for their fine design and manufacturing quality, and yet still today excite and attract new generations. GTV always succeeds in finding the perfect combination of tradition and innovation, assisted by continuous research into new, clear-cut, versatile designs.The tangible and intangible intrinsic value of the GTV collection is expressed in the Wiener GTV Design brand, engraved on a coin embedded in the structure of each single piece: a precious detail that certifies authenticity, originality and quality in stable balance between manufacturing and high-level craftsmanship. Inspiring this unique detail was the coin with the image of the brand that was historically spent internally within Thonet production facilities throughout Europe.
