I can't resist bentwood furniture, a style pioneered by German manufacturer Michael Thonet in the 1800s, even in its more modern interpretations. Try as I might, I never cease to be surprised swept off my feet by the timeless creations. Bentwood café chairs seem to be ubiquitous these days, and I never tire of them, but it is refreshing to see bentwood in another shape, such as the Thonet Bentwood Settee ($1494).

I've never had any complaints about bentwood (quite the fan, actually), but I'm impressed to see it showing up in places other than café chairs and coat trees. That's right, the technique most often associated with furniture is now being used to seat your hot coffee. This Veer Coffee Cuff ($59) is like a Flip & Tumble bag for your caffeine fix — you can take it with you on-the-go without sacrificing your chic style.

Bentwood is a type of furniture formed by heating wooden rods with steam and bending them into curved shapes. The style is most commonly used to make chairs — including dining, side, and rocking chairs — which are lately coming back in vogue. The technique was pioneered in the 1800s by a German manufacturer named Michael Thonet, whose catalog has been since reproduced in book form. RSS Feed
