For the compact chair 809, designers Claudia Kleine and Jörg Kürschner of Formstelle picked up the design language of the 808: The characteristic design of the seat and backrest shell embracing the person sitting as well as the cosy cushion upholstery reminiscent of waves were preserved. The contrast of the soft inside and outside shells unmistakably make the 809 a new family member of range 808. With its lower backrest height and the missing head support, in comparison to its “big brother”, the new armchair becomes an obviously related and yet independent piece of furniture. It offers the highest comfort and invites you to stay in it for a while. The 809 is also well thought through ergonomically and constructively – as a swivel chair with automatic return mechanism, it promises maximum comfort. Its individuality with regard to cover fabrics and materials make it a cosy companion – in private living rooms, hotel lobbies or modern office and waiting areas. The programme range is rounded off with the new side tables in two sizes: Table 1808 has a round tabletop with a diameter of 90 cm and a height of 40 cm; the smaller version 1809 (Ø 65 cm) is slightly higher (50 cm), which allows for the two tables to be perfectly combined. The frames of both tables, like the frame of the chair 809, are made of brushed flat steel. “For us, the family idea stood in the foreground, as is customary at Thonet. Thanks to the two different chairs that are, however, well-coordinated, and the two new tables, many combinations are now possible, especially in the contract segment,” said Claudia Kleine. ![Thonet 809 Fs1 5](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet__809__FS1_5.jpg)![Thonet 809 Fs0 1](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet__809__FS0_1.jpg)![Thonet Lounge Rueckzug 809 1808 1809 2000 S160 H](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_Lounge_Rueckzug_809_1808_1809_2000_S160H.jpg)![Thonet 809 Cento malachit FF 17b low](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_809_Cento_malachit_FF_17b_low.jpg)![Thonet 809 Fs2 8](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet__809__FS2_8.jpg) ![Thonet 808 809 1808 1809](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_808_809_1808_1809.jpg)![Thonet 809 Cento malachit Credo grapefruit FF 53b](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_809_Cento_malachit_Credo-grapefruit_FF_53b.jpg)![Thonet 809 Fs1 3](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet__809__FS1_3.jpg)![Thonet 809 Credo grapefruit FF 20b low](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_809_Credo_grapefruit_FF_20b_low.jpg)![Thonet 808 ID 05 1008 10519 809 ID 05 1008 10588 1808 ID 05 1008 10589](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_808_ID-05-1008-10519__809_ID-05-1008-10588__1808_ID-05-1008-10589_210121_101159.jpg) - Request a quote - [Manufacturer's Product-Info](https://www.thonet.de/en/all-products/detail/809) - [Manufacturer's website](http://www.thonet.de/startseite.html) All 809 products - [![809](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/Thonet__809__FS1_1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/thonet/809) - [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.
