Description
Designed by Marcel Breuer, the S 285 tubular steel desk is an iconic piece of contemporary design. It's as if Marcel Breuer anticipated today's home office and laptops: the compact S 285 desk he designed is an elegant companion for our modern lifestyle and work. The desk S 285 Thonet is a perfect example of the Bauhaus style, which aimed to combine art and technology in a single entity. Breuer was a skilled carpenter and combined his knowledge of tubular steel as a material with his interior design experience. The stained wood top and storage units are harmoniously integrated into the tubular steel frame. The structure is formed by curved lines, and the clean-cut wooden elements seem to float inside. With its balanced proportions, the S 285 desk is available from Thonet in various models, all equally iconic and timeless.

Marcel BREUER
Architect and furniture designer, Marcel Breuer, born in 1902 in Hungary, had a strong influence on the Bauhaus school, where he was a brilliant student. After a year in Paris working for an architect, he returned to the Bauhaus, where he ran the carpentry workshop from 1925 to 1928, combining art and technology. During this time, he created his tubular steel collection, including the B3 chair, better known as the Wassily Chair, published by Knoll. This armchair is now recognized as one of the icons of modern design. After a brief stint in London from 1935 to 1937 with Isokon, one of the first modern design manufacturers in the UK, he emigrated to the United States. Marcel Breuer taught at Harvard’s Architecture School and worked as an architect in collaboration with Johnson and Paul Rudolph, and later Walter Gropius. He was the first architect in history to exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

THONET
Thonet is today a pioneer in furniture design worldwide. The German furniture manufacturer is a family-owned company with a prestigious history. Shortly after its inception, Thonet became a major furniture maker with a global distribution network, always working with famous designers such as Mart Stam, Marcel Breuer, and later Stefan Diez or Naoto Fukasawa. Indeed, the furniture from the Thonet brothers began to have commercial success, particularly thanks to the famous Vienna Café chair Thonet. It was created in 1859 and is considered one of the most successful industrial furniture designs globally.
