August Thornet, the third son, succeeded his father as the creative force behind Gebruder Thonet. He is credited with the design of the “Schaukensofa.” Another of his virtuoso designs was a demonstration chair made for the Paris exposition Universelle of 1867: two extremely long pieces of bentwood intertwined to form one apparently continuous line. He also designed an experimental side chair made out of a single precut plank of wood that was progressively bent to form the finished chair. More prosiacally, he invented a veneered wooden seat for the cafe chair that was longer-lasting and less expensive than woven cane, and braced the frame, making the entire chair stronger. ~ Page 110
