Among all the cantilever chairs of the Bauhaus epoch, the armchair S 35, with its light- ness, flexibility and comfort, casts a shadow over everything heavy and inert. In 1930, the modern life- style communicated by the S 35 appeared visionary; today, it is part of our mobile and individual lifestyle. With S 35, Marcel Breuer succeeded in combining all of the functions of a cantilever tubular steel armchair in a single line that also includes the armrests. Breuer achieved a double cantilever effect with his design: seat and armrests flex independently from each other. The flexing movement of the seat and backrest frame cantilevered towards the back is balanced by the flexing armrests. A matching footstool is available for extra comfort – also designed as a cantilever piece
of furniture.
Frame chrome-plated tubular steel. Seat, backrest and footstool with black full-grain bend leather, brown buffalo leather or cowhide. Armrests in stained beech or oiled walnut. With “ThonetProtect®” surface for
