Chair Of The Rings by Martino Gamper for The Conran Shop/Thonet, 2008

This chair, along with two other models, was commissioned by The Conran Shop in 2008 to the designer Martino Gamper for The London Design Festival and for the shops "Inspirations Collection". It´s made of bent wood. The title of this particular model is "Chair Of The Rings" (of course a nod to the famous trilogy "Lord of the rings" by J.R.R Tolkien). The design process was that Gamper did go to the Thonet factory in Mundus, Croatia and was given a pile of old parts from well known Thonet models and than reinterpret the classic Thonet bent wood chair by reassemble those parts to make three new models . After that, Thonet took those examples and produced these three models to be displayed at The Conran Shop in London, Paris and Tokyo. This was not a true so called Limited Edition but could only be bought when ordering them directly from one of the Conran shops at this particular time. After contacting The Conran Shop they confirm that a very limited number of these chairs were ever produced for customers and they estimated that around 10-15 pieces of each model may have been ordered at the time. This example was bought and ordered from The Conran Shop in Paris in 2008.
