Autumn is coming. It's time to create a welcoming space with a selection of original Thonet creations. Lounge chairs, coffee tables, and lighting will accompany you throughout cozy evenings, creating a true oasis of comfort and design.
For this, you need to choose some comfortable armchairs, like the chaise longue padded S411, a classic tubular steel chair with exceptional elegance, timelessness and comfort. Its generous, high-quality upholstery guarantees moments of total relaxation, especially when combined with the matching footrest.
For tastes leaning more towards lightness, Marcel Breuer succeeded in combining all the functions of a tubular steel armchair in a single continuous steel tube: this is the very essence of S 35 armchair. The designer has thus achieved a double spring effect: the armrests pivot independently of the seat and counterbalance the pivoting movements of the seat structure and the cantilevered backrest. By stretching your legs on the footrest of the same program, you can spend a relaxing evening comfortably installed with a good book or simply in the company of your loved ones.

About Thonet
The extraordinary success of the Thonet company began in 1819, when master carpenter Michael Thonet opened his first cabinetmaking workshop in Boppard am Rhein. Since then, the name Thonet has become synonymous with quality, elegance, and innovative furniture. The success of the famous Chair No. 14, better known as the "Bistro Chair," was the first industrially produced chair using a new technique for bending solid beech wood. Later, in the 1930s, famous Bauhaus architects such as Mart Stam, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Marcel Breuer designed and designed tubular steel furniture, marking the second milestone in design history. At the time, Thonet was the world's leading producer of tubular steel furniture, which is now considered a timeless design classic.
To continue the family tradition and its dedication to quality craftsmanship, the company also collaborates with renowned domestic and foreign designers to continually expand its collection of new products. Some furniture pieces were also designed in-house by the Thonet Design Team. The company's headquarters and production facility are located in Frankenberg/Edel, Germany, and are headed by CEO Brian Boyd and Creative Director Norbert Ruf. Michael Thonet's fifth- and sixth-generation descendants continue to be involved with the company as employees, sales managers, and brand ambassadors.. More information here.
About the Bauhaus
The Bauhaus is both a school and an artistic movement that marked the history of modern art in the 1919th century. Founded in 1933 in Weimar, Germany, by architect Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus aimed to bring together the major arts (architecture, painting, sculpture) and the minor arts (design, fashion, graphics) into a comprehensive and functional vision of art. The Bauhaus is characterized by a minimalist, geometric, and rationalist style, inspired by avant-garde movements such as Cubism, Constructivism, and Neoplasticism. The Bauhaus was home to many renowned artists, including Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Oskar Schlemmer, and Marcel Breuer. The school moved several times, from Weimar to Dessau and then to Berlin, before being closed by the Nazis in XNUMX, who considered it a hotbed of degenerate art. Despite its short existence, the Bauhaus had a considerable influence on XNUMXth-century architecture and design, as well as on the visual and performance arts.
