The S 5000 sofa range is based on a simple, intelligent construction idea that makes use of the modular principle. Inspired by the ever-increasing fusion of working and living spaces, Studio Irvine, in keeping with its founder, took on the task of intelligently refining it, so that it would fit into the modern concept of New Work: structurally identical arm and backrests or dividing panels can be integrated into the seat frame as needed to serve as a sight and noise barrier. This makes it expandable in a variety of ways, and, thanks to its variable side panels, it can also be used in multi-space offices. The panels create a frame for various cushions, which can be loosely put in the desired place. The furniture range also includes small tables that are screwed to the tubular steel frame. This creates entire sofa landscapes that are modularly expandable and modifiable. As a classic sofa, the S 5000 fits in modern living spaces, in the smaller version with panels it becomes a smart working station for working from home and in the larger versions it can be used in office middle zones and lounges, in co-working spaces or in waiting rooms. ![Thonet S5000 S411 S64 Vdr](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S5000_S411_S64VDR.jpg)![Thonet S 5002 C003 Sperrvermerk ID 05 1008 10314](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S_5002_C003_Sperrvermerk_ID-05-1008-10314.jpg)![Thonet S5002 C004 Sperrvermerk ID 05 1008 10314](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S5002C004_Sperrvermerk_ID-05-1008-10314.jpg)![S 5002 7](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/t/thonet/produkte/s-5002/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/s-5002-7.jpg)![S 5002 8](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/t/thonet/produkte/s-5002/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/s-5002-8.jpg)![Thonet 5002 Sperrvermerk ID 05 1008 10314 S 5001 ID 05 1008 10365 1808 ID 05 1008 10589](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_5002_Sperrvermerk-ID-05-1008-10314S-5001_ID-05-1008-10365-1808_ID-05-1008-10589.jpg) ![S 5002 9](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/t/thonet/produkte/s-5002/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/s-5002-9.jpg)![Thonet S 5000 Sperrvermerk ID 05 1008 10314](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S-5000_Sperrvermerk_ID-05-1008-10314.jpg)![Thonet S5002 C002 weiss ID 05 1008 10314](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S5002C002_weiss_ID-05-1008-10314.jpg)![Thonet S5000 Mr515](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S5000_MR515.jpg)![S 5002 10](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/t/thonet/produkte/s-5002/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/s-5002-10.jpg)![Thonet S 5000 05 1008 10314](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Thonet_S_5000_05-1008-10314.jpg) - Request a quote - [Manufacturer's Product-Info](https://www.thonet.de/en/all-products/detail/s-5002-c001) - [Manufacturer's website](http://www.thonet.de/startseite.html) All S 5000 products - [![S 5000 with wheels](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/Thonet__S_5002_C009__FS0_1.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/thonet/s-5000-with-wheels) - [![S 5003](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/Thonet_S5003C001_weiss_ID-05-1008-10366.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/thonet/s-5003) - [![S 5001](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/Thonet_S5001C001_weiss_ID-05-1008-10365.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/thonet/s-5001) - [![S 5002](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/_350x225_crop_center-center_none/Thonet_S5002C001_weiss_ID-05-1008-10314.jpg)](https://www.stylepark.com/en/thonet/s-5002) - [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.
