The outstanding properties of this armchair are elegance, timelessness and exceptional seating comfort. Added is a lightness that only a cantilever model can have.
While the first tubular steel chairs from the 1920s were rarely upholstered, the 1935 Thonet catalogue presented an entire series of voluminously upholstered armchairs and sofas.
The in-house Thonet design S 411 from the year 1932 probably marks the beginning of this new product series.
