THONET Sessel Freischwingersessel mit hoher Lehne • Programm S 412
The outstanding qualities of this armchair 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 were barely upholstered, the Thonet catalogue of 1935 already featured an entire series of generously upholstered armchairs and sofas. It is thought that Thonet's own design of the S 411 from 1932 marked the beginning of this new product line. Today it is made with high-quality spring-core upholstery. A matching footstool is also available.
The S 412 is the version with a high backrest: 89 cm overall height compared with 79 cm for the S 411. Its frame of chrome-plated tubular steel carries a seat with a spring core and full upholstery, with piping encased in the cover material; on Nubuck leather the seam is finished as a contrasting capped seam, while on natural Nappa leather it is finished as a contrasting double topstitching. The armrest pads are made of beech, or oiled oak or walnut 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. The range also includes the S 411 and the matching footstool S 411 H.
