S 43 FDR Office Chair

The S 43 FDR Office Chair has been created by Mart Stam for the brand Thonet. First appearing in 1931, the S 43 FDR Office Chair pioneered the use of tubular steel, removing back legs and replacing them with a cantilever design which hasn't aged a moment. Re-introduced by Thonet, this office chair continues to offer a comfortable and aesthetically pure option for studies and office spaces alike.

Stam's modernist masterpiece is characterised by resilient steel materials and clear lines. The seat rests on a cross-shaped base featuring four casters, while the central spine includes a lever which can be used to alter the height as desired. The seat, back and armrests are all made from plywood which possesses sufficient give to avoid the need for upholstery. Instead, sitters can type and read for long periods in complete comfort, with 360 degrees of movement as well.

The S 43 FDR Office Chair is 88cm high, 64cm wide and 64cm deep, with a default seat height of 42cm, although that can change if required. The casters ensure that sitters can move the chair at will without damaging sensitive flooring, completing a beautiful, ergonomic, and extremely practical office seating option.
