Catalogue Note

In 1930 Thonet issued their largest tubular steel catalogue to date. This model was available with Eisengarn seats in several colours and also the shade of the armrests could be specified. The same year this chair was shown at the Deutscher Werkbund exhibition. It is one of the few models made entirely from one continous length of steel.
