Success story: the S 43 PV cantilever chair by Thonet

Connoisseurs know immediately when they see the chair with the characteristic frame of chromed tubular steel: Mart Stam's famous design is and remains a design icon. Since the development of the S 43 at the beginning of the 1930s, the cantilever chair has been appreciated and admired - a real success story. At that time a step towards modernity, today a timeless piece of furniture: despite its simple appearance, the S 43 is an elegant eye-catcher.

The artistic copyright for the S 43 lies with the Thonet brand. The S 43 PV version has extra upholstery that makes sitting even more comfortable. Whether as a dining room chair, in the living area, but also in public spaces such as waiting rooms, hotel lobbies, etc. - the S 43 PV can be easily combined with any interior design and is guaranteed to look great in your home. Get yourself a real piece of design history with the S 43 P tubular steel classic in the online shop of einrichten-design.

Ahead of his time - the Dutchman Mart Stam

Mart Stam, who was born in the Netherlands in 1899, initially worked for various architectural firms throughout Europe before he was invited by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe to the Werkbund exhibition in Stuttgart-Weißenhof in 1927. For the Weißenhofsiedlung there, he designed a terraced house including interior furnishings. This was the birth of the legendary cantilever chair made of tubular steel, which managed entirely without rear legs. The iconic chair is still one of the absolute design classics today. Until his death in 1986, the Bauhaus lecturer was known as a busy architect who appreciated the functionalist straightforward style and realised contemporary buildings.

Thonet - design furniture with a long tradition

Thonet from Frankenberg in northern Hesse is not only one of the oldest furniture manufacturers in the world - the company has always had a keen sense for forward-looking ideas. As early as 1859, the company's founder Michael Thonet attempted to design a simple chair that could be manufactured industrially by bending beech wood. The result was the inimitable chair no. 14, also known as the Viennese coffee house chair. In the 1930s, Thonet was the main producer of the revolutionary Bauhaus tubular steel furniture designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Mart Stam or Marcel Breuer, among others. Today, Thonet is still authorised to produce these furniture classics. Currently, the company is working with many renowned designers from all over the world to expand its own collection.

The S 43 PV cantilever chair by Thonet is 82 cm high, 44 cm wide and 52 cm deep. The seat height is 47 cm.
