Mid century Bauhaus S34 Cantilever Armchair by Mart Stam – Black Saddle Leather & Polished Chrome, Renate Italy, 1980s
An elegant example of Bauhaus-inspired modernist design, this vintage S34 cantilever armchair is based on the iconic 1926 design by Mart Stam. Manufactured in Italy by Renate during the 1980s, it combines timeless architectural lines with exceptional materials and traditional Italian craftsmanship.
The chair features a beautifully balanced cantilever construction, defined by its continuous tubular steel frame and distinctive floating seat. The absence of traditional rear legs creates a clean, minimalist silhouette while allowing the frame to provide a gentle and comfortable flex when seated.
The generously proportioned seat and backrest are crafted from thick, black saddle leather, complemented by matching leather-covered armrests. The rich texture of the leather contrasts beautifully with the mirror-polished chrome frame, giving the chair a refined yet distinctly industrial character.
