THONET chair, cantilever • S 32 V range, Edition Herkner
The cantilever chair S 32 and its variant with armrests, the S 64, are the best-known tubular steel classics. Marcel Breuer designed them while living in Berlin in 1928. Their versatility has made them the best-selling cantilever chairs to this day, as they suit uncompromisingly modern interiors just as well as a mix of styles that gives room to different eras. Part of the appeal of these tubular steel icons also lies in the engaging combination of new and proven: bentwood with airy Viennese cane weave for seat and backrest embodies Thonet tradition, while the tubular steel frame, revolutionary in its day, stands for the present and future. Thonet has produced both models since 1930. Thanks to their aesthetic reduction and clarity, these classics suit the most varied settings, from conference rooms and waiting areas to restaurants and homes. The range is extended by the swivel chair variants S 64 Atelier (VDR) and the bar stool S 32 VH.
For the Edition Herkner, Sebastian Herkner has given the classic a new colour scheme: the tubular steel frame is matt powder-coated, the bentwood frame in oak is stained to match, and the seat and back feature cane weave in DARK MELANGE. The edition is available in five colourways: Chestnut, Amber, Rosewood, Sage and Black. Glides in POM plastic or felt are included.
