Set of Two Original Early Thonet chairs. The appealing combination of new and old contribute to their popularity: Thonet’s tradition in the production of bentwood furniture with characteristic Vienna wickerwork, in contrast with the revolutionary use of tubular steel. Seat and backrest made of bent solid wood with wickerwork represent tradition, and the frame represents the present and future. With their versatility, they became bestselling cantilever chairs and still are today. Marcel Breuer designed the S 32 and S 64 during his time in Berlin in 1928. Thonet has been producing both models since 1930. Due to their aesthetic reduction and clarity combined with the airy wickerwork, the classics fit into the most diverse environments, from conference rooms and waiting areas to restaurants and private homes. This set is original and beautiful plus shows some minor traces of wear like some scratches on the wooden frame and some tiny stains on the tubular shiny chrome bases. The wicker of the backrest is some darker than the wicker of the seats, which is a charming detail, proving the original early version of this beauties. (see pictures #1 – #5).
