THONET chair • S 165 range
Well-designed, comfortable and available in a wide variety of versions: the S 160 range was developed for furnishing event spaces, canteens and residential-style contract areas. The chairs can be stacked closely (up to 17 chairs) and feature a connecting mechanism that links them together simply, securely, space-savingly and without tools (Thonet patent). With a low or high back and various upholstery options, S 160 offers a broad range of applications. A variant with wooden chair legs (160) turns the popular contract chair into a residential-style chair for the contract sector, for example for cafés with a homely interior. There is also a filigree and particularly comfortable bar stool (S 160 H) for the hospitality sector and for working at high tables.
The THONET S 165 chair stands on a chrome-plated four-legged frame made of tubular steel and carries a moulded plywood seat shell. It is available unupholstered, with mirror upholstery on the seat, mirror upholstery on the seat and back, or fully upholstered. It is stackable. Plastic glides are included as standard; felt glides are available for an additional charge, as are further stain tones of Beech II.

Mirror upholstery: With mirror upholstery, only the inside is upholstered – exactly the surface you sit and lean on. The back of the seat shell remains visible in wood or plastic. This keeps the chair light and filigree while still noticeably improving seating comfort.
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 makes the chair appear softer, calmer and more residential in character than with mirror upholstery.
Row connection: Chairs designed for row linking can be joined side by side into fixed rows of seating without tools. This is required wherever many people sit together: in halls, churches, canteens or conference rooms. The Thonet connection is patented and meets DIN EN 14703, the standard for row seating including panic-release safety – in an emergency, the row can be cleared quickly and safely.
