Metal Retro Dining Chair Replica Thonet No 18 Bentwood Black

If you love the classic No.18 bentwood silhouette but need something tougher for real-world use, this all-metal replica nails it. The curved steel frame gives you that iconic café look, finished in a black gloss powder coated finish that’s easy to live with in busy dining areas.

Black gloss powder-coated finish for busy dining spaces

Black works anywhere, timber tables, concrete floors, white walls, moody interiors. And because it’s metal with a powder coat, it’s a solid pick for high-traffic setups where chairs get moved, stacked nearby, bumped, and wiped down a lot. You get the style, without feeling precious about it.

Compact footprint that suits tighter table layouts

At 440mm wide and 440mm deep, it’s a neat chair that helps you fit more seats around a table without crowding knees and elbows. The rounded back keeps the profile light, while the steel build gives you that commercial-grade durability feel for day-to-day service.

Specifications

A quick note on the “bentwood” look

The original bentwood café chairs became famous because they were lightweight, practical, and easy to repeat across busy venues. This replica keeps that same flowing geometry, but swaps timber for steel—so you still get the classic lines, with a more hard-wearing, venue-friendly build.
