Their popularity stems from the appealing combination of something new and something tried and tested: the solid-wood seat and backrest with canework embody tradition, while the chrome-plated tubular steel frame represents the present and the future. In January 2024, renowned German designer Sebastian Herkner will debut the “Rethinking Classics: S 32/S 64 DARK MELANGE” collection, exclusively curated for Thonet. Here, natural colour nuances in the chairs’ wooden elements and frames meet dark opalescent canework. This collection is a distinctive new take on popular classics destined to be statement pieces in any interior design. Thonet’s new elegant, dark canework is a material innovation based on natural dyeing processes. ![Thonet S64 V Nussbaum DARK MELANGE S1200 Eiche LUM50 FF 406bw](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S64V_Nussbaum_DARK_MELANGE_S1200_Eiche_LUM50_FF_406bw.jpg)![Thonet S64 VDR RAL9005 Buche schwarz TP29 DARK MELANGE S1072 Esche sw FF LUM50 322bw](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S64VDR_RAL9005_Buche_schwarz_TP29_DARK_MELANGE_S1072_Esche_sw_FF_LUM50_322bw_2025-10-28-113154_hwgi.jpg)![Thonet S64 V Nussb S33 Kernl schoko S33 V S34 V Nobel 61297 S1072 Esche sw B9 c d FF 277bw](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S64V_Nussb_S33_Kernl_schoko_S33V_S34V_Nobel_61297_S1072_Esche_sw_B9_c_d_FF_277bw.jpg)![Thonet S64 V S32 V Nuss DM S33 schoko S43 TP29 1140 Eiche FF 356bw](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S64V_S32V_Nuss_DM_S33_schoko_S43_TP29_1140_Eiche_FF_356bw_2025-10-28-113151_orzr.jpg)![Thonet S 32 V Dark Melange Chestnut FF](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S-32-V_Dark-Melange_Chestnut_FF.jpg)![Thonet S 32 V Dark Melange Rosewood FF](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S-32-V_Dark-Melange_Rosewood_FF.jpg)![Thonet Dark Melange 01 CM Litho](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_Dark-Melange_01_CM_Litho.jpg) ![Thonet S 32 S 64 Dark Melange 01 CM Litho](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S-32_S-64_Dark-Melange_01_CM_Litho.jpg)![Thonet S 64 V S 32 V Nussbaum DARK MELANGE 1140 Eiche FF 209bw](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S_64_V_S_32_V_Nussbaum_DARK_MELANGE_1140_Eiche_FF_209bw_2025-10-28-113145_gfeu.jpg)![Thonet S64 V Nussbaum DARK MELANGE S 1072 Esche sw 198bw](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S64V_Nussbaum_DARK_MELANGE_S_1072_Esche_sw_198bw.jpg)![Thonet S 32 V Dark Melange Amber FF](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S-32-V_Dark-Melange_Amber_FF.jpg)![Thonet Detail S 32 V S 64 V Dark Melange Black V7 FF](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_Detail_S-32-V-S-64-V_Dark-Melange_Black_V7_FF.jpg)![Thonet S 32 V Dark Melange Sage FF](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S-32-V_Dark-Melange_Sage_FF.jpg)![Thonet S 32 VHT DARK MELANGE TP29 FF 19bw](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S_32_VHT_DARK_MELANGE_TP29_FF_19bw.jpg) - Request a quote - [Manufacturer's Product-Info](https://www.thonet.de/en/magazine/products/detail/herkner-meets-breuer-rethinking-classics-s-32/s-64-dark-melange) - [Manufacturer's website](http://www.thonet.de/startseite.html) - [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.
