Michael Thonet's company designed the No. 811 Bentwood Armchair in the 1920s. The No. 811 Bentwood Armchair is often attributed to Josef Hoffmann but is more likely the design of Josef Frank. The No. 811 Bentwood Armchair was first introduced as the A64F and had a different version of front legs than later versions.  The No. 811 Bentwood Armchair is also one of the first versions of bentwood chairs to be offered in a variety of colored finishes.  The No. 811 Bentwood Armchair went on to become one of the company's most popular designs and is still widely used by designers worldwide.

The output of Michael Thonet's factories was vast, due in part to his idea of designing separate pieces that would be combined to make a large number of models. Michael Thonet stands out as a designer and pioneer both in mass production and in design, as he artistically explored the new forms and unique qualities of his newly invented technique. Remarkably, few changes have been necessary over the last 150 years. The factory still follows the 19th-century production methods developed by Michael Thonet to produce stylistically accurate, handsome, and sturdy bentwood chairs, stools, tables, and accessories.
