S 533 R Cantilever Chair

The S 533 R Cantilever Chair was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the brand Thonet.

Thonetis known for creating a process of steam bending wood to mass produce furniture. The family-run German company has been producing furniture for a global market since the 19th century. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was a leading influence in the world of architecture; many cityscapes of steel and glass can be attributed to his influence. His furniture designs are equally striking, exhibiting minimalism and refinement, creating a harmonious balance of materials and structure.

A classic example of his dictum, "less is more", the S 533 L Cantilever Chair exhibits simplicity with structural clean lines which will complement a range of interior designs and areas. There is an elegance to the generously curved tubular steel frame which supports the one piece wicker seat. Remarkable comfort is provided by constant flexing of the strong steel frame. The S 533 R Cantilever Chair provides an ample 50cm width and 82cm height and has a seat height of 44cm. The design combines luxury and comfort while reflecting the intention of the designer to provide a functional piece that has artistic merit.
