Mid-Century Thonet S43 Cantilever Chair — Black Beech & Chrome Steel — 1980s, Germany
A true icon of minimalist modern design — the Thonet S43 cantilever chair blends clean Bauhaus aesthetics with functional comfort. Designed by Mart Stam, a Dutch architect and designer known for pioneering the cantilever chair concept in the late 1920s, the S43 became a timeless symbol of 20th-century design.
This particular piece, produced by Thonet in Germany during the 1980s, features a sleek chrome-plated tubular steel frame combined with a black lacquered beech plywood seat and backrest. The S43 stands out for its pure, no-frills silhouette — free from unnecessary decoration — which perfectly embodies the Bauhaus principles of form following function.
Thonet, a name synonymous with European furniture innovation, has been producing high-quality, timeless pieces since the 19th century, and the S43 is one of the brand’s most enduring and celebrated designs.
