THONET armchair lounge chair • Programme 809
With the 808, the Munich-based design studio Formstelle developed a lounge chair that combines maximum comfort with numerous options for customisation. The chair plays with the contrast between a protective shell and openness. Within its surroundings, it offers a place of retreat and calm. Its distinctive appearance results from a consistent reinterpretation of the classic wing chair – the upper backrest is reminiscent of a protective collar. The shell embraces the person sitting and conveys a sense of security. The second striking feature is the comfortable upholstery, reminiscent of waves. The inside, with its loose, cushion-like look, stands in exciting contrast to the smooth outer shell. An intelligent adjustment mechanism also allows the user to individually adapt the chair. The compact lounge chair 809 is the "little brother" of the successful lounge chair 808 and serves as a place of retreat in smaller rooms, as well as in groups, combined with the larger chair or the low side tables 1808 and 1809. A lap desk is optionally available for the 809 as a surface for placing items or writing. The programme is rounded off by a footstool. For additional comfort, a neck cushion can be added. An integrated counterweight allows flexible positioning, ideally supporting the head of the person sitting. Available in numerous covers – from fabric to leather – the cushion sets visual accents in contrasting colours or blends harmoniously into the embracing seat shell of the comfortable lounger.
The THONET 809 lounge chair is the compact version of the 808 programme. It stands on a frame made of flat steel in a stainless steel look; for an additional charge, the flat steel is available in deep black RAL 9005. The shell features casual comfort upholstery. The outer shell and inner cover are selected separately, in fabric or leather. Plastic glides are included, felt glides are available for an additional charge.

Comfort upholstery: Comfort upholstery is a particularly elaborate upholstery construction: depending on the model, a fine non-woven layer is additionally sewn in. This makes the cushion feel softer to sit on and also more durable, as the cover is loaded more evenly.
Casual comfort upholstery: Casual comfort upholstery is the softer, more relaxed variant of comfort upholstery. Its cover is deliberately not taut, but falls into gentle waves – this is intentional and part of the character of this upholstery, as are seat impressions that remain visible after standing up. Those who prefer a smooth, taut look should choose the standard comfort upholstery.
