The new lounge chair 808 plays with the contrast between a protective shell and an inviting openness, creating a place of retreat and calm. Its distinctive appearance is created through a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic wing chair – the shape suggests an elegant cocoon that embraces the person sitting in the chair and communicates a feeling of security. Another striking characteristic is the comfortable upholstery with its welcoming soft wave effect. This inner cushioned core establishes an intriguing contrast with the angularity of the outer shell. A clever mechanism allows users to individually adjust the position of the chair. The compact Lounge chair 809 functions as a “small brother” of the successful lounge chair 808, and as a place of retreat in smaller rooms or in groups, and in combination with the larger chair or the low side tables 1808 and 1809. A footstool enhances the range. The swivel frame of the lounge chair 808 is available in a number of different versions (wood with bentwood elements, stainless steel, tubular steel chrome-plated or in various colours). The mechanism hidden inside the chair enables the variable adjustment of multiple seat and backrest inclinations through to a relaxing fully reclined position. An upholstery concept that Formstelle has exclusively developed for the lounge chair 808 completes this highly detailed and well-conceived design. The designers have created a distinct fabric for the lounge chair 808 in collaboration with the German textile manufacture Rohi: “Soul” is available in thirteen colours and impresses with a high-quality new woollen yarn and a multidimensional honeycomb structure that lends depth to the fabric. Customers can choose from six different colour worlds, each consisting of material options in leather, fabric and formed fleece, with matching decorative seams. ![808 H](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_1410x940_crop_center-center_none/Thonet_808_ID-05-1008-10519__809_ID-05-1008-10588__1808_ID-05-1008-10589_210121_101144.jpg) - Request a quote - [Manufacturer's Product-Info](https://www.thonet.de/en/all-products/detail/808-h) - [Manufacturer's website](http://www.thonet.de/startseite.html) All 808 products - [![1828](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/Thonet__1828__FS0_1_Eiche_80er_200124_095742.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/thonet/1828) - [![1818](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/Thonet__1818__FS0_1_Eiche_80er.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/thonet/1818) - [![1808 / 1809](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/Thonet__1808_1809.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/thonet/1808-1809) - [![808 H](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/Thonet__808_H__FS1_3.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/thonet/808-h) - [![808](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/Thonet__808__FS1_15.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/thonet/808) - [All products by Thonet @ Stylepark](https://www.stylepark.com/en/products/manufacturer/thonet) - [Thonet @ Stylepark](https://www.stylepark.com/en/manufacturer/thonet) Thonet Related Articles [INTERVIEWS Strong presence 4/7/2025 The internationally renowned fashion designer Jil Sander has reinterpreted Marcel Breuer's ‘S 64’ cantilever chair for Thonet. ‘Serious’ and “Nordic” are the names of the design lines with which she has given the tubular steel classic from the 1920s a new sensuality.
