S 35 L armchair Thonet

Good vibrations: Tubular steel armchair S 35 from Thonet 

In the S35, Marcel Breuer combined all the functions of a free-swinging tubular steel armchair in a single continuous line: mobility, lightness and comfort. Designed in 1930, the club chair impresses with a double cantilever effect: the armrests, which spring independently of the seat, perfectly balance out the swinging of the seat and backrest frame. 

The matching S 35 LH stool complements this beautiful armchair. 

Thonet - over 200 years of tradition 

The Frankenberg-based manufacturer stands for durability and the irrepressible urge to innovate. Thonet was the first manufacturer to bring bentwood furniture onto the market and to sell tubular steel furniture. Michael Thonet founded his own workshop in Boppard am Rhein in 1819. In the 1830s, he experimented with veneer strips boiled in glue and is therefore regarded as the inventor of "bentwood furniture". in 1842, he was invited to Vienna by the Austrian State Chancellor Prince Metternich and the coffee house culture there laid the foundation for Thonet's later success. With this innovative spirit, it is not surprising that Thonet also cultivated links with the Bauhaus and Marcel Breuer. Thonet realised Breuer's experiments with cold-bent tubular steel and produced the famous cantilever chairs. 

Material and format 

The frame of the S 35 is made of chrome-plated tubular steel, the cover is made of full-grain core leather or buffalo leather in brown. The armrest pads are available in stained beech or oiled walnut, although the buffalo leather model is only available in walnut.
