The S43 chair, designed by Mart Stam for Thonet and manufactured in the 1950s by Kovona in Czechoslovakia, stands as a classic example of Bauhaus modernism. This piece features a cantilevered tubular steel frame in a cool, slightly matte metallic finish, creating a continuous and geometric silhouette. The seat and backrest are crafted from bent plywood in a light, cream tone with a semi-matte surface, showcasing the natural wood grain. The wooden elements are affixed to the frame with exposed metal screws, emphasizing the industrial character of the design. The proportions—rectangular seat and backrest—are balanced, underscoring the Bauhaus ideal of form following function. Signs of age and use are visible: the plywood surfaces display discoloration, scratches, and minor chips, while the metal frame shows patches of patina and slight tarnishing. There is no major structural damage, but the chairs are in need of restoration to fully regain their aesthetic and functional potential. All components appear original, with no visible modern replacements or modifications. The listed price refers to one piece.
This chair tells the story of radical reimagining in Central European design during the 1920s and 193
