The MAK owns a one-of-a-kind collection of bentwood furniture made primarily by the Thonet company, as well as by competitors such as J. & J. Kohn. These exceptional holdings are being studied in collaboration with bentwood researchers of international repute: following the completion of technical data (dating, place of production and series, bending technique employed) and artistically relevant information (e.g. design, client), the project is intended to result in an exhibition and a catalog of the holdings.
