Vintage S33 Cantilever Chair by Mart Stam – Italian 1980s Bauhaus Chair in Cognac Leather

A beautiful vintage S33 cantilever chair by Mart Stam, featuring genuine cognac-brown leather and an elegant chrome-plated tubular steel frame.

A true icon of modernist furniture design, the S33 represents the radical simplicity and functional elegance associated with the Bauhaus movement.

Originally designed by Dutch architect and designer Mart Stam in 1926, the S33 was revolutionary for its time. Its innovative cantilever construction eliminates the traditional rear legs, creating the distinctive impression that the chair is floating above the floor.

This particular example is a later Italian production from the 1980s, combining the iconic Bauhaus silhouette with beautifully aged genuine cognac leather.

Iconic Bauhaus Design

The S33 is a masterpiece of reductionist design.

Its continuous tubular-steel frame creates a clean architectural profile, while the warm cognac leather introduces a rich and sophisticated contrast against the polished chrome.

The result is a chair that feels equally at home in a Bauhaus interior, Mid-Century Modern home, contemporary apartment or sophisticated office.

The cantilever construction also gives the chair a subtle flexibility when seated, contributing to its characteristic comfort and dynamic appearance.

Genuine Cognac Leather

The real leather upholstery is the highlight of this example.

The rich cognac tone gives the chair a warm, luxurious appearance while beautifully complementing the cool chrome frame. The natural character of genuine leather makes each chair unique, with subtle variations in tone and texture adding to its vintage appeal.

This is not simply a functional chair — it is a piece of 20th-century design history that can serve as a distinctive accent in a modern interior.

Designer – Mart Stam

Mart Stam (1899–1986) was a Dutch architect, urban planner and designer whose experiments with tubular steel furniture helped shape the development of modern furniture design.

The S33 was designed in 1926 and became one of the defining examples of the early cantilever chair.

Its innovative construction, minimalist geometry and functional approach perfectly express the principles of early modernism and Bauhaus design.
