Wiener GTV Design Thonet - Eyeshine mirror d64

Simple geometric shapes, a combination of circles and ovals, recreate scenic suggestions that bring to mind the mystical powers of the eye and delineate the outline of the EYESHINE mirrors devised by the designer Anki Gneib. The bent ash-wood  encloses the reflecting surface and shows different sizes, expanding the eye’s searching echo.

Wiener GTV Design Thonet

Michael Thonet (1796-1871) and his five children were the most successful manufacturers of furniture in the Industrial Age. 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.
