Altstadt
Tour #15

Thonets' traditional craftmanship

In Suite #15, a genuine piece of Vienna comes to life—a symbiosis of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design. This spacious, light-filled room was created in collaboration with the furniture manufacturer Gebrüder Thonet Vienna. The Thonet brothers are considered among the most successful furniture makers of the industrial era. In 1853, Michael Thonet and his five sons founded the company Gebrüder Thonet, soon to become the creators of numerous timeless pieces—including the iconic Thonet chairs, now regarded as absolute design classics.

As you step through the white double doors, you're met with a gentle surprise: natural light floods the space through two expansive windows, dancing through the open layout and casting soft reflections on the room’s vibrant palette. A lively green meets bold orange, infusing the space with a refreshing lightness—beautifully complemented by the warmth and elegance of Thonet’s signature designs.

Here, classic Viennese weaving meets modern reinterpretation—visible in the Nyny Unit shelf, the Wagasa floor lamp, and the Rue headboard, all masterfully integrated into the room's composition.

 

In addition to a spacious bathroom, a freestanding bathtub set within the living and sleeping area invites both indulgence and interaction—a place to unwind, to see and be seen. The suite is crowned by a large-format artwork from German-Russian artist duo Römer + Römer, whose striking visual language floats somewhere between pointillism and photorealism.

And if you're already tempted by the charm of Suite #15, take note: another freestanding bathtub beckons in our Felix Suite #9, designed by Matteo Thun. More Thonet designs can be discovered not only in Room #21, but throughout the house—each room its own little universe of comfort and character.
