Thonet Mundus, Vienna Austria

Leopold Pilzer, a junior partner at the bentwood furniture company Rudolf Weill & Co., merged sixteen smaller bentwood furniture manufacturers to create the limited company Mundus in Vienna, Austria, in 1907, with assistance from the Austrian Creditanstalt bank. In 1914 Mundus became a majority stakeholder in J. & J. Kohn, and merged with Gebrüder Thonet in 1922 to form the publicly traded company Thonet-Mundus. Even after the merger, some of their furniture was sold under their respective names.
