THONET armchair cantilever chair • Programme S 411
The outstanding qualities of this chair are elegance, timelessness and a high level of seating comfort. Added to this is a lightness that only a cantilever model can offer. While the first tubular steel chairs from the 1920s had little upholstery, the Thonet catalogue of 1935 already featured a whole series of voluminously upholstered armchairs and sofas. The Thonet in-house design of the S 411 from 1932 presumably marks the beginning of this new product range. Today it is made with high-quality pocket-spring upholstery. A matching footstool is also available.
The S 411 is the cantilever chair of the programme with a 79 cm high backrest. Its chrome-plated tubular steel frame carries a seat with pocket springs and full upholstery, with piping sheathed in the cover material; on Nubuck leather the seam is finished as a contrasting double-folded seam, on natural Nappa leather as a contrasting double topstitching. The armrests are made of beech, available in oiled oak or walnut, oiled for an additional charge. The frame is also available powder-coated for an additional charge; cantilever models are supplied without glides as standard, with POM plastic glides or felt glides available for an additional charge. With a high backrest, the model is called S 412, matched by the S 411 H footstool.
