Cantilevered comfort: In Milan, Thonet unveils a throwback to the iconic S 32 with a light, compact lounge chair.
Thonet S 32 Lounge Chair 2023 Launch in Milan
The S 32 Lounge chair will be launched at the SieMatic showroom, Viale Monte Santo 8, 20124 Milan. Press preview, Monday 17th April 3 – 7pm. Opening times: 18 – 22nd April, 10 am -7pm.
Thonet’s S 32 cantilever chair is one of the most popular and recognisable pieces of tubular steel furniture – a versatile design icon for a variety of settings and styles. The new S 32 lounge chair version brings together architectural lines, a distinct design and yielding comfort. Placed next to a sofa, this lower level model can make the perfect addition to a relaxing lounge area. Alternatively, it stands out as a statement piece in coworking breakout spaces, elegant reception areas or stylishly designed private homes.
Anyone who has ever taken a seat on a cantilever chair knows the experience is unlike any other: the chair reacts dynamically to your movement, its frame flexing with just the right amount of give. The springiness of the S 32 lounge chair’s tubular steel construction is a key part of what makes it so comfortable.
Modern German furniture design – cantilever seat
This new design combines the typical characteristics of a cantilever chair with those of a lounge chair. The result is a flexible repose, paired with distinctive form and an air of lightness. To further enhance the chair’s ergonomics, the seat has been widened (58 cm) and is tilted slightly backwards. The S 32 Lounge chair does not have armrests, creating a relaxed atmosphere with no obvious barriers to communication, wherever it is used.
The seat height of 40 cm means it can harmonise easily withs other lounge furniture: the perfect partner for sofas, with the added advantage of appearing both lighter and more compact than upholstered armchairs. Occupying minimal space, the tubular steel frame makes a transparent, open and airy impression. This memorable, minimalist design fits effortlessly into diverse interior settings – from residential to the contract.
This new lounge chair is based on the famous S 32 tubular steel cantilever chair originally conceived by Marcel Breuer in the 1920s. Breuer’s chair was distinguished by its use of contrasting materials: Viennese canework, characteristic of Thonet’s traditional bentwood furniture, and the least amount required of tubular steel. In keeping with the full S 32 range, the lightweight S 32 Lounge chair is available with either a canework seat (S 32 VL), an upholstered seat (S 32 SPVL) or an upholstered seat and backrest (S 32 PVL).
The S 32 Lounge chair is the ideal addition to the current collection, which consists of classic cantilever chairs with and without armrests, a swivel chair version (Atelier) and barstools in two different heights. This new model now makes it possible to create entire furnishing landscapes with a range of seat heights.
The S 32 Lounge chair launched is to be held at the SieMatic showroom, Viale Monte Santo, Milan, Lombardy, Italy.
