	La Stanza del Re.
		According to various scholars of the Thonet phenomenon (1), it is possible to speak of fifty million examples manufactured and sold by 1930, whilst according to the advertising of Gebruder Thonet in its contemporary catalogues, fifty million chairs had been sold before 1914.
		Despite its simplicity, the number 14 chair did not disregard the long experience of Michael Thonet and his sons, from both an artistic and a technological point of view; on the contrary, it represents a full summary of it.
		Following the splitting of the Thonet trade name into several national companies, the number 14 was reproposed in the German catalogues as the modern evolution of the number 14 (model 214) and in Vienna with the classic model produced around 1870.
