2021 marked the 90th anniversary of the famous S 43 tubular steel chair, known for its discreet, minimalist shapes and timeless look. A great furniture classic, this cantilever chair brings a sense of authenticity and reliability to any room. The children's version is irresistible and the ideal solution for spaces designed for the little ones. The Children's Chair S 43 K comes in a vitamin-packed colour palette dreamed up by the Besau Marguerre design studio. These five colours, inspired by minerals and precious stones, add accents of colour without being garish or categorised as childish. The shades used by Thonet are both durable and safe for children.
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.
