Product information

"Thonet S 285-5 desk"

The Thonet S 285-5 desk: a classic made of tubular steel and wood.

Elegant design from 1935: the designer Marcel Breuer developed the tubular steel furniture that is still manufactured today by the traditional company Thonet. Thonet desks are considered modern classics that are timelessly beautiful and durable. It is also the time when Breuer, together with Bauhaus colleagues, developed the cantilever chair and other chairs and armchairs made of tubular steel for production. The furniture belongs to the "New Objectivity" epoch: the name says it all - the Thonet desks fit into any environment, in the office as well as in the home office. The Thonet S 285-5 with drawers for accessories on both sides is the top class among the desks of the family-owned company, which manufactures products for every need, such as the S 285-0, S 285-1 and S 285-2 desks. All Thonet desks have a frame made of tubular steel, the wood can be individually configured. According to your taste, the wood with its grain can be shown to advantage, optionally stained colours are used. You can find many Thonet classics in your pro office shop.
