Pair of Thonet SS33 Bauhaus Cantilever Chairs – Chrome & Mustard Wool Upholstery

Description : This striking pair of SS33 cantilever chairs captures the essence of Bauhaus minimalism, originally conceived by Mart Stam and brought into iconic production by Thonet. Each chair features a continuous chrome-plated tubular steel frame that forms the base and arms in one fluid line, creating the illusion of floating without rear legs. The curved backrests and round seats are upholstered in mustard yellow wool-blend fabric, maintaining the signature balance between form and function. These examples show only minor wear consistent with age and use, with the original screw-on protective feet currently missing—an easily replaceable component that does not impact structural integrity. With their clean lines and historical pedigree, these chairs are ideal for modern interiors, creative studios, or architectural collections.
