[QUOTE="Fid, post: 4429144, member: 7724"]it's a bit more complicate.:) what we look upon as typically Thonet was taking off in big volumes after 1850 only when Thonet and his sons were already installed in Vienna. most of the production was in - then - Austrian Bohemia due to cheap labor and knowledge about the cultivation and care of immense plantations of straight beech trees that made the bending in industrial quantities easier and cheaper. Fischel, Kohn, Mundus and others were starting their production with Thonet patents. especially Kohn tried to push Thonet out of the market and was successful in the end when Thonet didn't prolong his patents - which meant that the use of the designs and the process with steambending were open to all. after WWI everything fell apart anyways when the Austrian Empire was split up in independent states.[/QUOTE]
