THONET children's chair • S 43 K programme
Simplicity that makes its mark anywhere: Mart Stam took the back legs off a chair that had been shaped along similar principles for centuries. Through evolutionary refinement, this produced a piece of seating furniture that cuts a good figure wherever understatement and quality are called for in equal measure. In his furniture designs, Mart Stam valued high utility and economy, both aesthetically and materially. This resulted in the clean-lined shape, the clear construction and the improved seating comfort. Stam achieved the greatest possible reduction with the cantilever S 43 by combining the tubular steel frame with moulded wood parts for the seat and back. Its pure, restrained shape makes this cantilever chair an exemplary design in the spirit of modernism. The artistic copyright for the strictly cubic, legless-at-the-back chair now belongs to Thonet. The natural sciences reading room of the German National Library in Leipzig was already fitted out with the S 43 cantilever chair in 1933. More than 70 years later, Thonet supplied new S 43 chairs to complete the set. Such longevity and sustainability are only achieved by high-quality tubular steel furniture, as is typical of Thonet. The programme is extended by the S 43 Atelier (DR) swivel chair variants, the S 43 H bar stool and the S 43 K children's chairs.
The THONET S 43 K is the children's version of the cantilever chair: chrome-plated tubular steel frame, seat and back in moulded plywood, seat height 34 cm. The moulded plywood is available in five standard stain colours.
