Gamper visited the Thonet factory in Mundus, Croatia and collected a range of old elements from well-known Thonet designs, and consequently remodelled and reassembled these parts to make the Chair of the Rings. Following on from this Thonet took the examples produced and made three models for display at the Conran Shops in London, Paris and Tokyo.
