Made by thonet using classic chromed steel tube in one piece that is bent to form the entire cantilevered frame from side to side.


this armchair is in good used condition with some age related marks to be found here and there. Patina and the age of the item comes through in the leather which gives it a real vintage look. Stained beech wood arms have great patina also. Sturdy and sound in construction and most importantly very comfortable.


the prominent features of this armchair are elegance, timelessness and exceptional seating comfort. Added to that is a lightness that only a cantilever model can have. While the first tubular steel chairs from the 1920s were rarely upholstered, the 1935 thonet catalogue presented an entire series of voluminously upholstered armchairs and sofas. The in-house thonet design s 411 from the year 1932 likely marks the beginning of this new product series. Today, it is produced with high-quality upholstery.
