Original Thonet S43 cantilever chair, designed by Mart Stam. As one of the most important classics of Bauhaus design, the S43 embodies the consistent reduction to the essentials and is still considered a milestone in modern furniture history. By eliminating the rear legs and using an innovative cantilever construction made of chrome-plated tubular steel, a completely new form of seating was created, uniquely combining functionality, comfort, and timeless aesthetics.
The seat and backrest are made of molded beech plywood in a natural finish and harmonize perfectly with the polished tubular steel frame. The springy frame provides a pleasant rocking effect and exceptional seating comfort, eliminating the need for additional cushions. The clean lines and balanced proportions make the S43 a versatile classic that fits perfectly at the dining table, in the conference room, office, or living area.
This set bears the original Thonet quality labels and impresses with its high-quality craftsmanship and the durability typical of Thonet. Thanks to their iconic design and robust construction, the S43 cantilever chairs remain among the most sought-after designs of classic modernism.

The chairs are in very good vintage condition with minor signs of age. The beech plywood surfaces exhibit a beautiful, even patina with occasional wear. The chrome-plated tubular steel frames are sturdy and well-preserved.
