We're posting this anyway. TON's bentwood collection is one of histories oldest chairs; having been sat on by millions and millions of bu'' people.
In June and July 2011, visitors had the opportunity to visit the exposition "Legacy of Michael Thonet", created by Jiří Uhlíř, which was presented as a part of celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the bentwood furniture in Bystřice pod Hostýnem. We had a lot of interest in the exposition, therefore we decided to create permanent exhibit in the chateau in Bystřice pod Hostýnem. You can visit it during the opening hours of the chateau until the end of October. The exposition will show you the most interesting parts of the long history, from the founder Michael Thonet (1796-1871) to current TON production.
