A design staple, the S 34 chair stands out for its cubic shape, clear design, slim proportions and flexing movement. This cantilever chair, one of the first of its kind, combines the spirit of the times with a sense of tradition.
In 1925, Mart Stam began experimenting with structures using small-diameter pipes that he connected using plumbers' fittings. He then created cantilever chairs, which no longer rest on four legs, inventing a new construction principle. Introduced in 1927, the S 33 and S 34 chairs were more than just creations, they were part of the overall revolutionary concept of a new era in design.
Designed to last, the Thonet S 34 chair is made from tubular steel with a leather seat and back.
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.
