The Thonet B33 is an iconic example of Bauhaus Modernism, originally designed by Marcel Breuer in 1927. This set of four cantilever chairs stems from a Thonet production of the 1960s, maintaining the high-quality craftsmanship and design integrity of the original concept.
Each chair features a gracefully curved tubular steel frame with a refined chrome finish. The seats and backrests are crafted from original aged leather, displaying a rich patina that enhances the historical character of these rare pieces. The natural wear on the leather surface tells a story of decades of use, adding depth and authenticity.
With their flexible yet supportive structure, the B33 chairs offer a comfortable seating experience while maintaining a striking sculptural presence. Whether as a standalone statement or paired with a Bauhaus table, this set is a testament to the timeless appeal of early modernist design.
This set not only serves as functional seating but also represents a significant chapter in modernist design history.
