S 35 All Seasons Outdoor Armchair + Stool Thonet

Lightness, movement and comfort - an armchair as a cantilever chair. The S35 fulfils all the requirements for it perfectly and in the All Seasons version it is now also ideally suited for outdoor use.

The armchair was first shown in 1930 at the "Salon des Artistes Décorateurs" in Paris, where it was part of a prototypical high-rise flat.

The Frankenberg-based manufacturer stands for durability and an irrepressible drive for innovation. Thonet was the first manufacturer to bring bentwood furniture onto the market and the first to market tubular steel furniture. Michael Thonet founded his own workshop in Boppard am Rhein in 1819. In the 1830s he experimented with strips of veneer boiled in glue and is therefore regarded as the inventor of "furniture made of bent wood". 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. Given this desire for innovation, it is not surprising that Thonet also cultivated links with the Bauhaus and Marcel Breuer. Thonet implemented Breuer's experiments with cold-bent tubular steel and produced the famous cantilever chairs.
