The No. 14 chair

Also known as the bistro chair, The No. 14 chair was designed by Michael Thonet and introduced in 1859.
The No. 14 chair is widely regarded as a design classic. It earned a gold medal when it was shown at the 1867 World Exposition in Paris. It has been praised by many designers and architects, including Le Corbusier, who said "Never was a better and more elegant design and a more precisely crafted and practical item created." It is made using a unique steam-bending technology, known as bentwood. With its affordable price and simple design, it became one of the best-selling chairs ever made. Some 50 million No. 14s were sold between 1859 and 1930 and millions more have been sold since.
Thonet's No. 14 was made of six pieces of steam-bent wood, ten screws, and two nuts. The wooden parts were made by heating beechwood slats to 100 degrees Celsius, pressing them into curved cast-iron molds and then drying them at around 70 degrees Celsius for 20 hours. The chairs could be mass-produced by unskilled workers and disassembled to save space during transportation, an idea similar to flat pack Ikea furniture.
This example is by Fischel of Czechoslovakia.
Ron Gilad used the No. 14 in "Through the looking glass" but I am not sure how well this worked. The No. 14 is really best enjoyed by sitting on it over an early lunch of sví?ková (beef in cream sauce with dumplings) plus some seriously strong coffee with Dvorak playing in the background.
