Eight Thonet chairs of various models: Model 14, Model 18, and Model 56. The seat is made of woven cane, while the structure is constructed from steam-bent beechwood.

Only nine Thonet chairs were found in the Bukovac House (KB-144 and KB-389/1-8), but undoubtedly, there were more in the apartments where Vlaho Bukovac stayed, as shown and confirmed by numerous photographs from the Bukovac House.

For more on the Thonet chairs, see description KB-144.
