Rethinking Classics: S 32 / S 64 Dark Melange for Thonet (2024)

The Thonet S 32 cantilever chair and the S 64 version with armrests designed by Marcel Breuer are some of the most iconic pieces of tubular steel furniture. Their popularity stems from the appealing combination of something new and something tried and tested: the solid-wood seat and backrest with canework embody tradition, while the chrome-plated tubular steel frame represents the present and the future. Sebastian Herkner presents the “Rethinking Classics: S 32 / S 64 Dark Melange” collection, exclusively curated for Thonet. Here, natural colour nuances in the chairs’ frames and wooden elements meet dark opalescent canework. It allows a whole new take on the popular classics which can be used as statement pieces in the design of interior spaces.
