Michael Thonet (Boppard, Alemania, 2 de julio de 1796 – Viena, Imperio austrohúngaro, 3 de marzo de 1871) fue un constructor de muebles e industrial, pionero en el diseño de muebles y creador de las técnicas del curvado de madera.
Thonet era hijo del maestro Franz Anton Thonet, de Boppard. Tras su aprendizaje como carpintero se estableció como profesional en 1819. Un año después se casó con Anna Grahs. Desde 1830 experimentó nuevas técnicas para laminar y curvar la madera a fin de obtener formas que evitaran los costosos sistemas de modelado a base de cincel y de uniones mediante ensamblajes. Obtuvo más independencia adquiriendo una fábrica de pegamentos para sus diseños. Su primer éxito fue el Bopparder Schichtholzstuhl ('silla Boppard') en 1836. En la feria de Coblenza de 1841, se encontró con el príncipe Klemens Wenzel von Metternich, que se confesó entusiasta de sus muebles y lo invitó a la corte vienesa. Al siguiente año, Thonet presentó sus diseños a la familia imperial y tras vender su establecimiento decidió trasladarse a Viena con su familia. Allí trabajó con sus hijos en la decoración interior del Palacio Liechtenstein. Thonet patentó un sistema de doblado en caliente de la madera, en 1841.
El invento patentado, que le permitió mejorar su organización industrial, consistía en someter las láminas de madera embebidas de cola al calor y la humedad producidos por el vapor, con el fin de obtener una masa compacta, elástica y flexible que había de someter seguidamente a presión y al modelado en formas especiales. Una vez alcanzado el grado necesario de enfriamiento, se quitaban los moldes y la madera se presentaba lista en el tamaño y en el dibujo correspondiente a las piezas de los distintos muebles, que luego se ensamblaban de manera muy simple, por medio de tornillos. En 1849 fundó cerca de Viena, la empresa Gebrüder Thonet. En 1850 produjo su silla Número 1. La feria internacional de Londres de 1851 le concedió la medalla de bronce por su silla Viena bentwood, lo que supuso su lanzamiento internacional. En la siguiente Feria internacional en París en 1855, se le concedió la medalla de plata. En 1856 abrió una nueva factoría en Koryčany, Moravia.My Old Rocking Chair
My roommate and I found the old-fashioned wooden rocking chair at a flea market. Typical Finnish wooden rocking chair. I was about six months pregnant and my soft-focus mental image of rocking my new infant in that traditional, comfortable rocking chair was too much to resist. I was, after all, away from home, in Lawton, Oklahoma, with no family, except my husband, who lived in the barracks at nearby Fort Sill, or friends, except my new roommate. Strangely, I felt perfectly confident that I could get everything necessary ready for this new baby. When Did the Movie E.T. Come Out?

Who Created the Lego Company? Ole Kirk Christiansen, a Danish carpenter, bought a woodworking shop in 1916. LEGO bricks (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Because of the Great Depression, the call for furniture and large projects dwindled in the 1930s. He turned to making wooden toys in 1932.

My neighbor was trying to warn me about her next-door-neighbor’s children. I stopped her with, “We let our children choose their own friends.” I liked the boy she was talking about, who was our son’s age. He seemed needy, as the child of a family who moves often does. I had no idea what family troubles drove them. But, whatever they were, my neighbor thought the boy a bad influence and wouldn’t let her children hang out with him.

Teddy Bear (Photo credit: Wikipedia) We gave him a Tonka voice-activated teddy bear for Christmas in 1986. You could talk to it and it would record and repeat back what you said. It seemed like a good idea at the time. My son was seven. The then-popular Teddy Ruxpin teddy bears had tape cassettes with stories recorded on them, or 10-second modules you could record your own message on. But, this bear was interactive.
