Where the Thonet 118 family can work
The 118 models can be considered for a range of business interiors, including meeting rooms, reception areas and shared seating spaces. An armless chair can be useful where occupants need to move in and out freely or where several chairs must fit around a table. A model with fixed armrests may suit a setting where that additional support and defined seating position are preferred. These are selection considerations rather than a substitute for checking the actual room layout.
For a consistent appearance, compare the wood and upholstery choices across the planned group before deciding on a mix. The collection information lists upholstery colors including beige, black, blue, brown, green, grey, orange, red and other shades, and base colors including wood, black, beige, brown and several colored options. Availability may depend on the specific model, so confirm the exact finish when narrowing your selection.
How to choose between the four models
Start with the seat and armrests
Choose the 118 M if you want the listed beech wood, four-leg chair without upholstery or adjustable features. The 118 SP adds an upholstered seat while retaining a four-leg format and no armrests. The 118 PFV is the wooden chair with fixed armrests. The 118 SPFV combines armrests with a beech frame and fabric or leather upholstery. Use these differences to match the chair to the needs of the room, rather than assuming the models offer the same configuration.
Check dimensions and quantities
Compare each model’s stated dimensions with table height, aisle space and the number of seats required. The listed dimensions are 42 x 50 x 80 cm for the 118 M and 57 x 52 x 80 cm for the 118 PFV. The wider stated footprint of the PFV is worth allowing for when arranging chairs with armrests. Confirm dimensions for the other options before finalizing a plan, and leave enough room for people to sit and move comfortably.
Before placing a business order
Make a short checklist: required armrests, preferred seat finish, color coordination, available floor space and the number of chairs needed. If upholstery matters for a particular room, verify the fabric or leather option and color for the exact model. Product information lists a two-year warranty for the 118 SP; check the relevant model details for warranty terms rather than applying that specification to the whole family.
Thonet 118 chairs have no height adjustment or other listed mechanism, so choose them where a fixed chair specification suits the space. Myntwork offers these products on a monthly lease. Review the available configurations and confirm the model-specific details that matter to your project before selecting a group.
