About the Item
Reupholstered Bauhaus Cantilever Armchair in Tubular Steel, Thonet, 1930s
Elegant 1930s Bauhaus cantilever armchair attributed to Thonet, featuring a polished tubular steel frame, newly reupholstered seat and back, and refined wooden armrests. A timeless modernist classic with excellent comfort and iconic architectural lines
This refined Bauhaus cantilever armchair, produced in Czechoslovakia in the 1930s and attributed to Thonet, is an iconic example of early European modernism. The expressive tubular steel frame embodies the functionalist ideals that defined the interwar period, combining clarity of structure with a light, floating appearance. Its continuous cantilever silhouette—bending forward into a single looping base—creates a visually dynamic yet exceptionally stable seating experience.
The chair has been newly reupholstered in a high-quality textured fabric, chosen to complement the cool tones of the chromed steel. The fresh upholstery gives the piece a clean and contemporary aesthetic while maintaining full respect for the original Bauhaus character. The seat and backrest offer generous comfort, making the chair suitable not only as an architectural accent piece but also for daily use in a living room, reading corner, office or boutique interior.
A particularly elegant detail is found in the sculpted wooden armrests, gently curved to echo the line of the frame. Their warm patinated finish provides a subtle contrast to the steel structure and adds a tactile natural element typical of early Thonet production.
Pieces from this period—and especially cantilever chairs—remain highly sought after by collectors, interior designers and modernist enthusiasts. With its combination of original tubular steel construction, authentic 1930s form, and fresh upholstery, this chair offers an ideal balance between historical integrity and contemporary usability.
A strong standalone statement or equally attractive as part of a curated modernist seating ensemble.
