THONET table desk • S 285/1 range
As if Marcel Breuer had foreseen home offices and today's mobile computers: his compact tubular-steel desk is an elegant companion for the current lifestyle and way of working. Designed for Thonet, the desk is a fine example of the Bauhaus's programmatic ambition to unite art and technology into a new whole. Trained as a carpenter, Breuer combined his knowledge of tubular steel with his experience in interior design. The Table top and storage elements in lacquered or stained Wood fit harmoniously into the Frame of bent tubular steel. The load-bearing Frame consists of a single curved line, within which the wooden elements, defined by clear shapes, appear to float. Balanced in its proportions, the piece embodies a significant chapter of contemporary history known as "Die neue Sachlichkeit" (New Objectivity). Thonet still manufactures various Variants of this distinctive model today.
The S 285/1 is 164 cm wide and carries its storage element on the far right. Two configurations are available: two shelves or a large Body whose drawers run on full extension with soft-close. For the small drawer of the Body, a cross divider is available at extra cost. Table top and elements are chipboard with real Wood veneer and are chosen independently of the Frame: the Wood in beech, ash, oak or walnut, or alternatively finished with opaque lacquer; the Frame chrome-plated or powder-coated. The desk comes as standard without Glides; plastic or felt Glides and the ThonetClip® cable clip are available at extra cost. Without elements, the model is called S 285/0.
