In the case of S 43 he combined the tubular steel frame with moulded plywood shells for seat and back and thus created an absolute reduction. Due to the comfortable flexing effect of the frame, upholstery is unnecessary. Its clear, reserved form makes this cantilever chair an exemplary design in the spirit of modernism. Today, Thonet owns the artistic copyright for this strictly cubic chair without back legs. Without or with armrests. Frame tubular steel chrome-plated or lacquered in various colors (not stackable). Moulded plywood seat and backrest in stained beech, lacquered or with structured coating in 11 different colors. Also available with upholstered wood shells, covered with leather or fabric. The cantilever chairs from program range S 43 with a set in TP 29 black (stain) or RAL 7021 (lacquer or structured coating) as a standard have black rivets on the seat and backrest. All other colors are assembled with silver rivets. ![Thonet Programm S 43 F Interieur 3](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet__Programm_S_43__F_Interieur_3_180103_192007.jpg)![Thonet 1500 S43 S32 214](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_1500_S43_S32_214_191104_154448.jpg) ![Thonet Programm S 43 F S 1071 Interieur 3](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet__Programm_S_43__F_S_1071_Interieur_3_180103_191943.jpg)![S 43 F 3](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/t/thonet/produkte/s-43-f/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/s-43-f-3.jpg) ![S 43 F](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_1410x940_crop_center-center_none/Thonet__Programm_S_43__S_1071_Interieur_02_180103_191923.jpg) - Request a quote - [Manufacturer's Product-Info](https://www.thonet.de/en/all-products/detail/s-43-f) - [Manufacturer's website](http://www.thonet.de/startseite.html) All S 43 products - [![S 43 K](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/Thonet_S_43_K_TP130_beauty.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/thonet/s-43-k) - [![S 43 DR](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/Thonet_S-43-DR_ID-05-1008-10420.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/thonet/s-43-dr) - [![S 43 H](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/Thonet__S_43_H_ID-05-1008-10420.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/thonet/s-43-h) - [![S 43 with coloured steel pipe](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/t/thonet/produkte/s-43-with-coloured-steel-pipe/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/s-43-with-coloured-steel-pipe-2.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/thonet/s-43-with-coloured-steel-pipe) - [![S 43](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/Thonet_Stuhl__S_43__FS0_1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/thonet/s-43) - [![S 43 F](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/Thonet_Stuhl__S_43_F__FS0_1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/thonet/s-43-f) - [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.
