THONET chair, cantilever • S 32 range
The cantilever chair S 32 and its armrest variant S 64 are the best-known tubular steel classics. Marcel Breuer designed them in 1928 while living in Berlin. Their versatility still makes them the best-selling cantilever chairs today, as they suit uncompromisingly modern interiors just as well as a mix of styles spanning different eras. Part of the appeal of these tubular steel icons lies in the engaging combination of new and proven: bentwood with airy Vienna cane weave for the seat and backrest embodies Thonet tradition, while the tubular steel frame, revolutionary at the time, represents the present and future. Thonet has produced both models since 1930. Thanks to their aesthetic reduction and clarity, these classics suit a wide range of settings, from conference rooms and waiting areas to restaurants and homes. The range is complemented by the swivel chair variants S 64 Atelier (VDR) and the bar stool S 32 VH.
The THONET S 32 cantilever chair stands on a chrome-plated tubular steel frame and is available in five versions: with seat and back in cane weave within a bentwood frame (S 32 V), with synthetic mesh upholstery (S 32 N), with an upholstered seat and cane-weave back (S 32 SPV) or mesh back (S 32 SPVN), and fully upholstered (S 32 PV). The frame is available powder-coated at extra cost, and the bentwood parts in further stain shades as well as in oak, ash or walnut. The cane weave is available in natural and in DARK MELANGE.

Full upholstery: With full upholstery, the seat shell is covered all round with fabric or leather, including the back. The wood surface is then no longer visible. This gives the chair a softer, calmer and more homely appearance than the mirror-upholstered version.
Comfort padding: Comfort padding is a particularly elaborate upholstery construction: depending on the model, a fine fleece is additionally sewn in. This makes the padding feel softer to sit on and, at the same time, more durable, as the cover is loaded more evenly.
