Benko A-8130

Paged

A family of bentwood chairs with a visual language of the Thonet world. Benko is the first contract model entirely designed for Bentwood since 150 years. The family is characterised by a disciplined form relating to traditional bentwood furniture.

The collection has a strong character thanks to its originally shaped armrests whose soft lines provide a touch of feminine expression. The seat and backrest are filled with hand-made pleat. This way the contemporary design of the furniture combines two unique and vanishing technologies. The Benko family covers an armchair and a chair with and without armrests, intended for cafés and restaurants, according to Thonet’s tradition.

About Paged

Bentwood made with long-term durability in mind

  • Water-based varnishes and environmentally-friendly adhesives
  • Lower waste impact through better process control

History

Over 140 years of bentwood craft


  • Jasienica bentwood factory origins (1881)
  • Industrial heritage tied to classic bentwood production
  • Modern output shaped by designers and global use

Technology

How bentwood gets made


  1. Timber seasoning and drying to target moisture
  2. Machining + CNC for repeatable components
  3. Steam bending and shape setting
  4. Assembly, finishing (stain / varnish / enamel), then testing
