Gebruder Thonet Vienna
Post Mundus Chair
Price starting from € 802.00*
*Price valid for the version with frame in beechwood and seat in plywood (cod. SDPMUNLGN).
The Post Mundus chair by Martino Gamper is conceived as a contemporary reinterpretation of the Viennese tradition of bentwood. Starting from the archetypal forms of the classic café chair, Gamper deconstructs, rearranges, and reassembles its elements into a dynamic, almost gestural composition. The bentwood legs and backrest interact with a freer, irregular line, creating a piece that retains historical memory while projecting itself forward with irony and character. Post Mundus is both a functional object and an aesthetic statement: an exercise in identity, rhythm, and expressive possibility within one of the most iconic models in design.

All design history books begin with the same name: Thonet. In fact, thanks to the research made by the German cabinet maker Michael Thonet on the bending of wood, the industrial production of furniture began. In 1842, Thonet was invited by Chancellor Metternich himself to continue his activity in Vienna, and it was precisely in the capital of the Hapsburg Empire that he founded the Gebrüder Thonet Vienna (GTV) involving his five sons. The company left an indelible mark and the Gebrüder Thonet Vienna chairs went to connote the style of an era, selling millions of pieces all over the world thanks to a cutting-edge distribution network.Read more
Designed by
Martino Gamper
Martino Gamper (1971–) is an Italian designer who lives and works in London. Born in South Tyrol, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where he specialized in sculpture under the guidance of Arte Povera master Michelangelo Pistoletto, before moving to London in 1998 to attend the Royal College of Art. Much of his international recognition stems from the project 100 Chairs in 100 Days, first exhibited in London in 2007, later shown at the Triennale di Milano in 2009 and in San Francisco in 2010, and eventually published as a book of the same name. In this original project, Gamper created one hundred different chairs—each unique—using reclaimed materials. Discarded chairs were dismantled and recomposed through an approach indebted to the philosophy of the ready-made, in an uninterrupted experimental marathon that allowed him to confront a new design challenge every day. The aesthetic of Gamper’s one hundred chairs is guided by a frequent rejection of classical ideals of symmetry and harmony, replaced by the pursuit of unexpected solutions. This attitude is evident throughout much of his work, both in the many limited editions created for exhibitions and galleries and in his industrial production, which has included collaborations with major brands such as Moroso, Magis, Established & Sons, Gebrüder Thonet Vienna, cc-tapis, Ercol, and others.Read more
