Thonet developed the B22 A shelf from Thonet, which is also often used as an occasional table, as part of a series of occasional furniture that Thonet itself created as part of its own design designs in the 1920s. This Thonet side table was inspired by the furniture of the architects Marcel Breuer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Mart Stam as well as by the material and the associated possibilities of tubular steel.
