THONET table desk • S 285/2 programme
It is as if Marcel Breuer had anticipated home offices and mobile computers of our time: his compact tubular steel desk is an elegant companion for today's lifestyle and working style. Designed for Thonet, the desk is a fine example of the Bauhaus's programmatic ambition to unite art and technology in a new whole. As a trained cabinetmaker, 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 supporting 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 "Neue Sachlichkeit" (New Objectivity). Thonet continues to produce various versions of this distinctive model to this day.
The S 285/2 is 122 cm wide and carries its storage element on the inner right-hand side. Two configurations are available: two shelves, or a large body whose drawers run on full-extension, soft-close runners. A cross-divider is available for the small drawer of the body at an additional cost. The table top and elements are chipboard with real wood veneer and are selected independently of the frame: the wood in beech, ash, oak or walnut, or alternatively with a solid lacquer finish; the frame in chrome or powder-coated finish. At 53 kg, it is the lightest of the versions with a storage element.
